I’ve got Apache installed on my Ubuntu box, to have a play around and it’s working fine. But, whenever someone visits the test page I have up, they see my IP in the address bar. I have a domain name that resolves to it (my IP), through a no-ip account, I have heard that it is possible to make it show that hostname in the address bar instead. Someone said I should look up ServerName in httpd.conf, but that is empty. I looked in apache2.conf and there is no ServerName line. Does anyone know how I can do it?
