How can I run a webserver that is accessible outside of my college network?

I am trying to figure out how can I run a webserver that is accessible outside of my college network. I didn't think it was possibloy because I only have a local IP address (and I don't have access to the school router of course). But the school does give me a small webspace to use. Is there someway I could redirect people from my school webspace to my webserver on the school network?
 
There are hosting accounts for as little as $10/year, and better ones for $5-10 month.

Running a webserver will probably violate your agreeement with the school and get your net access cut off.

and you can't do it if you're behind a NAT without the cooperation of the administration

Can't do it because this is exactly they don't want their students to do.

yep, lots more traffic. I'd love to have been able to have done it, but whatever.
