u mean u need webserver to host your site
Apache and bind should do the trick.

You're going to have a tough time running DNS on a cable connection if you're on DHCP. If your IP changes too often, you may be better off having a 3rd party do it for you like www.zoneedit.com.

it has very detailed instructions from installing slack all the way to having ur own mail and webserver. go to the Get a Net Presence menu to start the directions.

Most domain registrars do provide some limited DNS hosting services. With that you should be able to define your A and MX entries to point to your web and mail server and have mail delivered to your mailserver.
