Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

In case you are not using any firewall, you should be able to reach your machine. As suggested by ash_zz_00 could you check what your public IP is and then try telnet etc.
Just a thought: Sometimes it takes hours or even days for domain registrars to propagate changes through the Internet. Your domain name may not resolve if it has been activated recently or if your dynamic DNS provider was configured very recently. If that is the case, it may just be a matter of time. You could try pointing your web browser to your public IP, on port 80 (XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:80) then see what you get.
If none of the former is the case, try pinging your domain from the outside. Does it resolve? Do you get a response? If it doesn't resolve, try pinging your public IP. If you get pings back from your host, then there is probably something misconfigured in your Apache settings.
