Your hosting machine will have that static IP as it's address.

Apache conf file will listen to that address (or *:80).

Virtual hosts in httpd.conf will look like:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
SuexecUserGroup "#503" "#502"
ServerName nationxskate.org
ServerAlias www.nationxskate.org
DocumentRoot /home/nationxskate/public_html
ErrorLog /home/nationxskate/logs/error_log
CustomLog /home/nationxskate/logs/access_log combined
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/nationxskate/cgi-bin/
<Directory /home/nationxskate/public_html>
Options Indexes IncludesNOEXEC FollowSymLinks
allow from all
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory /home/nationxskate/cgi-bin>
allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


Then any web name of nationxscate.org will be delivered from
/home/nationxskate/public_html (son's skateboard site).

So domain name hosting points nationxskate.org to my IP (A name record with
C name pointing to same).

easy-peasy.
