Make a small web host company help?

Currently I have verizon fios as my ISP. I would like to know the possibilities and what is necessary to have my own small web hosting server.

First, I know I would need to contact verizon and get a commercial plan along with a static IP address.

Here is where my knowledge lacks a bit… Lets say I set up an ubuntu web server (i know how to do that, i have one currently). How would I go about directing domain names at certain directories.
Lets say I have 2 websites set up under apache2. one under home/username1/public_html/ and home/username2/public_html/

Is it possible to get domain names and point them to a different website?

For example.. www.user1.com would point to home/username1/public_html and www.user2.com would point to home/username2/public_html

how would I go about doing this?

Thank you.
