iOS Push Notifications

[iAAPL]

I am working on an app, and I would like to have push notifications. I have no idea where to even start. I don't have a server. Can I use an old Mac/PC as my server? I know nothing about servers, but I want to learn. Could someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I used this service: http://urbanairship.com/

They suggest free plan for indie developers, a good guide, an sample app and testing sandbox.
