Check out ZoneEdit. They let you have 5 domains pointed to whereever you want for Free. I have never had a problem with them, and own 4 domains.

Zone Edit is great but you will still need to register a domain. There's a ton of registrars out there that can get you hooked up for under $10/year. If that's still to much then you will need to resign yourself to the fact that your address is username.no-ip.com. :wink:

If you are just setting up one website then the default apache install will be fine. You need to read up on virtual domains if you want to do more subdomains.
