Oh its very possible. Just make sure that your domain name points to your static ip. Fix up your httpd.conf file so that it reflects your domain and your good to go. Check out the official documentation at apache's web site.

Absolutely

-- It's not terribly difficult. I have 4 domains running on a 200Mhz machine with 10GB of storage on my home DSL connection.

I chose a quick, simple way to get started. I used ClarkConnect 1.2 because it had everything I needed: Firewall, Gateway, Pop3/Imap mail, Apache Web Server, ProFTPD.

All 4 domains serve e-mail and web pages. Since I'm the webmaster, I don't need each to have FTP so I haven't bothered with that. I'll be keeping ClarkConnect as my Firewall/Gateway but will probably move my web/ftp/mail to Mandrake 9.1 when it gets released - using a 400 Mhz machine with 40GB drive.
