You would add to the httpd.conf "NameVirtualHost ipaddr:port" then:

<VirtualHost ipaddr:port>
ServerName hordebusters.net
DocumentRoot /path/to/files
...
</VirtualHost>

As for DNS, you would either need to use a DNS service and setup an A 

record

set to your server IP address.  If you want to host your own DNS, you'll
need to get a DNS service running on your PC, setup the nameservers, and
need multiple IP addresses (two).

Check out http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/ for VirtualHost help.

Hello,

The file you are seeing is the index.html file stored in ~httpd/htdocs.

To setup domains, you need to add <VirtualHost> directives to your
~httpd/conf/httpd.conf file.

Also, where are you hosting this?  From your home, or elsewhere?  Many
ISP's
block their clients from hosting web servers unless they have a static IP
with them (which they usually charge an arm and a leg for).  You can get
around this by changing the port that Apache runs on to something like
8080
(e.g. http://yourdomain:8080/).

Also, if you have a firewall up then make sure that it isn't blocking
incoming connections to port 80.

Ok. I am a newbie, trying to set up a Apache server, so I, for example,
wouldn't have to use MegaUpload and similars if I want my friends to get
some files.
So, I'm running Slackware Linux 12.0, and I downloaded the Apache
sources.
They compiled ok, and I got to the point where "Hey, it worked!" site
shows
up on http://localhost/. But, the thing is I don't know how to modify
this
page (tried editing index.html in htdocs folder), and second, my friends
can't see even this page if they point their browsers to my ip. That
told,
I'm just gonna have to wait for someone to help me..
I would be really, really thankful for any advice!
