You could install the server on your machine for testing purposes.
It's a good way to learn, also. I installed on my machine once the
Xampp package.  It's easy to install, actually you just unzip it. You
can get it at www.apachefriends.org.
It will run just on your machine, and in the machines inside your
local network by default, but you can change it to allow access from
your machine only.

As I said, you could install it locally for testing and learning. I
would go for the separate install, even if choose to install Apache,
PHP and MySQL from the Ubuntu repositories. Later, if you feel TYPO#
is not to you, and you want to chose another CMS (you would be
surprised to know how many there are just at the CMS Matrix website -
http://www.cmsmatrix.org/), it would be easy to change.
For your ISP, it's definitely the 'just CMS' version. Normally they
are easy to set up. Just check the Apache, PHP and Mysql versions, and
check TYPO 3 website for pre-requisites.
Some hosting companies offer low cost plans with an easy one-click
install – usually WordPress.
