You can configure Mercurial to run a web server using the hg serve command. A list of runtime options on hg serve are available here.

Once you have your web server set up, hg clone servername:port will pull a copy of the server's resources, and hg push from that directory will update the server.

To force the server to update itself upon receiving a new push, add the following to the .hg/hgrc file in the repository:

[hooks]
changegroup = hg update >&2


This should accomplish what you're looking for.
