Good call vlat.
I've used dyndns.org for 3 years, and it's been excellent. There are clients you can install that will check your ip and run to dyndns to update your dns entry. The accounts are easy to use, and dns entries propagate fast (like under a minute fast). When I signed up it was free....not sure if it still is.

You should find a directive named ServerName in file named httpd.conf (as far as I remember in RH8.0 it resides in /etc/httpd/conf/), and edit it like ServerName www.yourdomainname.com . Of course domain name you purchased must point to IP address of machine you're running apache.
