Apache is pretty simple to understand and configure (for basic stuff anyway), but using the free hosting of your provider will be easier!

Having said that:

I've used dyndns.org, which worked fine for nameserving a dynamic IP. For the free service you do need to keep re-registering each month or so.

Pretty well every linux distribution will have apache installed as default, or easily acquired.

Assuming apache is installed, most distributions will have a script called 'apachectl' (for apache control) which you can use to fire up or gracefully restart apache. From the command line type "apachectl restart" and you should be good to go.

You can also start apache (and configure it to come up automatically on reboot) using a graphical (GUI) tool in most distributions. But the tool name might vary between distributions. Look for something under a 'system' menu that advertises itself as a 'service configurator' or similar. Enable apache at boot. If apache doesn't appear on a list of available services, it might be called 'httpd', or it isn't installed.

If there is no GUI, or if you prefer to do things yourself, then what you need to do is edit the runlevel bootscripts (a whole new topic)

If by chance apache isn't installed, it should be very easy to get. In Debian for example (or any distribution based on it), you would type 'aptitude install apache' at the command line and, 5 seconds later you're good to go.


apache.org has tonnes of documentation!
