You will need to set up a BIND server and create A Records or CNAMEs:

worked great...now i have a new issue lol.
when i go to http://www.pc-instructor.com it brings up the "It Works!" page, but if i go to http://www.pc-instructor.com/pc-instructor it brings up the correct page. How do i tell this to point to the pc-instructor folder in Ubuntu?

Thanks again!

That would be your Apache configuration, looks like there are some user-friendly tools for Ubuntu, here is a guide:

404 Not Found

If you want to dig more into the Apache configuration, the section you need to look at is VirtualHost, the config file should be: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Configuration Files - Apache HTTP Server

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/configuring.html

core - Apache HTTP Server

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#virtualhost

For a single site, the simplest way would be to just change your DocumentRoot to the root directory of your site files.
