Who knows if a server could be run that way, but I doubt it because the data transfer is slow than the rate in hard drives.

A web server runs fine on a USB stick, if you can tolerate some speed penalty, and you are not using a USB 1.1 flash drive. I have a whole Arch Linux system on USB stick with a Lighttpd+PHP+MySQL web server. It freezes sometimes when doing heavy I/O operations (like when using Firefox), but it's acceptably fast overall. If you have a USB 3.0 flash drive, then the speed probably utterly wouldn't be a problem.

If you are on Windows, there are numerous HTTP server software out there. Also, Python does have a Windows version, so you could run a Python simple server, too.

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
