Host your own. Go to the Minecraft webpage and click "download" on the aplha build. At the very bottom is a link to download the server software.
Once you set that up, you and your friends can play together, alone, at your house. For internet play, you'll need to open up port 25565 on your router.
To do that, find out what router you have. I think i have a Dlink DIR-625, for example, but it will say on the routers case.

Then, in google, type:
<Router name here> open port
For my DIR 625, I'd type Dlink DIR-625 open port.
