Is it possible? If not, could someone give me some way to run a dedicated web server. If it is possible to use Ubuntu Server as a web server, then could someone tell me how? Any useful information is appreciated.

Install the package apache2 ( sudo apt-get install apache2 ), along with any other things like MySQL, php, and whatever you want.

Then, /var/www will be the root of your server. You can put all your files in there.

If you are behind a router, then you will need to setup port forwarding on it to forward all requests on port 80 to your server's IP.

Then, you can access your server from any computer that is connected to the internet with the routers IP.

I'd also recomend installing ssh (sudo apt-get install openssh-server) so you can remotly administer it from any computer in the world. You'll need some more port forwarding behind a router.
