My personal experience, you are at the right place.

The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

Most of us run home networks that have routers between the home network and the outside, and those routers come preconfigured with firewalls to allow network traffic out (thus we can reach internet sites) but disallow network traffic from coming it (noone on the internet can access any of the computers on my home network). If you want to run a server in your network, then you either have to open your firewall to allow this, or you have reconfigure your network topology (using two routers would be the easiest).
As soon as your server is available on the internet, it will be attacked. You will have to spend a lot of time making sure that your server is locked down tight, and that your code is foolproof, and you will constantly have to monitor the server to make sure it is not hacked.
Additionally, most ISP home-user agreements disallow you from hosting web sites. You would have to sign up for a business-user agreement with your ISP, which is course costs lots more money.
In the end, you might just be better off running your web app in a hosted service.
