Yes, theoritically it is possible to host a site over a 56k modem. But in the practice, your web site should be small. It should be text based and it shouldn't use too much graphics.

We can't do an estimation for you as we don't know what is the size of pages on your web site. But, performance will be correect provided that you don't have more than 3 pages downloaded simultaneously at a given moment. But these are only suppositions. You should do real world tests to know how much traffic can be handled.
(For your information, a 56K modem bandwidth is around 4 Kb/s, that is the maximum amount of data users can download during a second. That means that if pages have an average size of 12 Kb, if only one user is downloading a page from you site, he will need 3 seconds to have it. If 2 download simultaneously 2 pages, each of them will need 6 seconds to have the page they asked for...etc...).
