RE: Stupid doubt but who cares?
Uh... No.

You need to register the domain (at godaddy.com for example), assign the DNSs to it (so you goe somewhere when you type the address) and get a static IP (from your ISP). Then you'll have to stay connected to the internet all the time so your site is online.

In Argentina, .com.ar are free, but in most countries you have to pay for .com.br, .com.co, etc. And of course, top level domains are not free (.com, .net, etc.).

That I don't know. All I know about having a server is what I said before (I once wanted to do the same), it's all I investigated.

Have you looked in Google?

Edit: I've found this on the web. I dunno if it'll be useful, but you can learn something. (Y)

Jonny, what speed is your internet? You will need a good solid fast internet connection to handle the server load.

RE: Server Doubt
You'll need to setup some nameservers - to point your domain name from your registrar to your computer. For this, I recommend BIND or another DNS program.

To setup subdomains - this can be done in BIND. You will then just need to setup virtual hosts in Apache's config.
