    Hi, is it possible to configure magento without having dedicated hosting?

    What I want to do is to install and make all the appropiate changes so my site is fully made before I purchase hosting, so it will maximize my hosting time on the net. Last time, I purchased hosting before I made my site and I wasted a few months trying to configure everything and developing the overall outlay of my site.

    Can I host it on LAN or something?

    you can try it on your computer (localhost)

    simply install a standalone apache server like XAMPP on your computer then you will able to install and running magento on it
