Let's assume that you've got a D-Link router which has a single public IP from your provider, and provides NAT translation for a private RFC-1918 subnet, and you've placed your webserver on a VM which lives behind that D-Link router. If so, you will need to enable static port forwarding for 80/tcp to the VM running the webserver, or perhaps place that IP in the router's "Enable DMZ Host" section of the firewall config. This is basic networking; it doesn't have any close relationship to either DNS or webservers.
