If it were to be hosted on your computer, the files will be stored on your hard drive in the folder ./storage under your apache directory. It is a bad idea to host files for the public if you have limited bandwidth (slow upload/download speeds). I am unaware of any free host that allow file hosting on their servers, plus many free hosts block access to php.ini for free users.

Yes, any web hosting package that supports modification of the php.ini file, php 4+ and allow running a file hosting service on their servers. However, I recommend a VPS (Virtual Private Server) or a Dedicated Server if you are serious about file hosting and expecting heavy traffic.
