I like to have a website, my first question is, to create site with joomla is free or must pay to have the server, or can I create a server here at the pc that I have. I have not idea at all of these things, can you give me a brief explanation please.

@eltontoni I would recommend for someone starting out to go with a web hosting service to host your website instead of setting up a webserver and hosting a website yourself. There is quite a bit of configuration involved, software and security updates are something you have to be on top of because the last thing you want to happen is to have your webserver hacked. So a reputable hosting company will take care of that for you so you can focus more on the creation and the content of the website.

@eltontoni Also while the Joomla software is free, you would have to pay the hosting company to host your website and for the domain name as well. Hope that helps! :-)
