I am a newbie to all this. And am currently planning as well as learning to make a dynamic site.. Can I host site on the free space offered in Google Drive?

Yes.
- Create a new folder in Drive and share it as "Public on the web."
- Upload your HTML, Javascript, and CSS files to this folder.
- Open the HTML file and click Open in the bottom-right corner.
- Click the "Preview" button in the toolbar.
- Share the URL that looks like "www.googledrive.com/host/..." from the preview window and anyone can view your web page.

Yes (kind of) you can host a website on Google drive and it should be purely html, css & JavaScript. You can't do any server side scripting and you do not have a database. And you get a weird url. Better option is to host your website somewhere else and if you need extra space use drive as storage point. (Here basically you are uploading content and sharing).
