Attach it to a message, or copy and paste it into one.

Yes, that's the usual thing to do. But there's several aspects to it.
If your internet connection is something like a router, then you do have to
forward connections through it. If it's just a simple modem, then the
computer is the first network device.
Some routers also have a firewall, and you need to allow incoming
connections to port 80, so that they can be routed through to something
behind it. Say specifically what model yours is so that someone can say
what you may have to do.

Run /sbin/ifconfig and you can see the IP addresses associated with all
your interfaces on your computer. 192.168.x.y ones are local network
addresses. Usable within your network, but not to outsiders. However, if
you're configuring your modem/router to forward port 80 connections
through, then it's done to that internal address. Outsiders will connect
to the external IP address of your router.

Then you only need the main configuration, and can remove all virtual host
directives. Hint: Avoid uncommon abbreviations, like "VH", while trying
to diagnose problems. Then we're all clear about what you're talking
about.

It's a common enough thing to do, and it may be the only way we work out
your problem.

I've no idea what you've removed. What's "modem config site"?
Basic concept of hosting something when you're behind a modem with in-built
firewall and router, hosting "www.example.com", your current public IP
address being 192.0.34.166, and your computer's internal LAN IP address
being 192.168.1.1:
You'd allow incoming port 80 connections through the firewall.
You'd forward port 80 through to 192.168.1.1.
You'd set your dynamic IP configuration gizmo to set your *current* public
into your DNS records for www.example.com (configuring their DNS server
with your details). For now, that'd be 192.0.34.166, and your program
should automatically update the records whenever your IP changes.
You'd set your HTTP server to listen to port 80 on all interfaces (for
simplicity's sake).
You'd set your HTTP servername as www.example.com.
You'd ensure that on your system that www.example.com resolves to an IP
address that you can use. For some networks you won't be able to connect
to your public IP, so you might add www.example.com as an alias for your
LAN address in your hosts file.
e.g. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost www.example.com
This last step allowing you to browse your own webserver on your own
machine.
