Hi I am also new to this kinda well I am good with computer but weak in networking,
I am trying to find out a way to get my won domain name also.
What I found out you would need a DNS server meaning Domain Name Server, but to get it accessable on the internet you need to register your domain name to some companies that offer this becuse they have access to the backbones of the internet, they charge a fee. I have been looking for a way around this, but so far no luck. I haven't found a free Dns server so If anyone finds one tell me, Thats what you need to do at this point in order to have your own domain name. I have seen a free DNS server for linux users but not work windows.
as for additional sites if your using wamp ect you just need to put your website file into the folder that say's www.\ if you replaced the index page I don't know how you would do that I don't think their's a way, IF you find out tell me also becuse I would like to know also.
Hope this helps in any way.
Good luck.
