This should be enough, yes

Wrong. You IP adress should be registered within the DNS server, and just
adding a DNS server isn't enough.

Create a directory within the user's directory called html-public. (or
something like that. Don't know the excact name).

Instruct Apache to recognise this directory. This should do it.
