RE: Installing Apache HTTP Server
In that case your server's DNS is the full subdomain path. IIRC though it isn't really important as WDZ says because it's just to make the apache error messages look right (404 messages say HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found on server.example.com or something like that).
As for running as a service, if you want apache to run "always on" you should definitely run it as a service. Essentially what that does is makes the apache processes part of the system; they'll run at startup without the need for the cmd window or tray icons. If on the other hand you're going to sporadically start it for short periods of time you can save system resources by not doing it. Either way you can still turn apache on/off as you like.
