Install your choice of OS then Apache as noted at http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Web-Host-in-Your-Home

Done. Your machine is now serving up content. I take it from your prior post you are a webmaster so this is the basic steps.

1. Install OS.
2. Install Apache.
3. Configure, publish content.

-> Google what the LAMP is since many want to use that since it's all rolled up into a single distro.

Didn't find cpanel in Apache. It's installed later.

Your reply tells me this may be your first attempt at running a web server.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPanel seems to give leads to cPanel.

Say, I wonder if you are very new to the web. Are you taking classes and using search engines here? Your question about cPanel makes me worry you are not working on this very hard.

Difficult to say what's better.

What you need at home anyway:
- a connection with Internet that's fast enough to serve the maximum number of viewers of your HD video's you expect simultaneously (say a HD video is 10 mbps and you expect 50 simultaneous users, than you need at least a 500 mbps upload connection)
- an ISP that offers such a connection and the traffic (the necessary amount of GB's a months) and doesn't cost more than your current hoster - did you already ask the ISP's that are available where you live what they have and how much it costs?
- the right knowledge to keep your site from being hacked

As pointed out,

at 4mb/s your website is going to be swamped with one user, let alone the number you are probably expecting.

Given that you mentioned your speed, I presume that is your Download speed. Most ISP's will happily tout their download speed while keeping the upload speed, something that is essential to your site, fairly quite.

Also remember that most ISP's give their speeds out deceptively. 26megs sound really good until you realize they are referring to the number of BITS per second and not Bytes.
