Total Noob just setup first ubuntu server

[woodies]

Hey all
I just finished the ubuntu guide to installing a LAMP server for total noobs, everything is setup now, i can access my server via its ip address:8080 and see the index.html file i put in there, but I have a few questions.
1. How do i secure my server? Should i setup the firewall in WEBMIN?
2. How do i associate a www.whatever.com address to my servers ip?
3. How can i setup email for whatever@whatever.com?
4. Why dont any icons show up in webadmin when i access it via http://ipaddress:10000?

You can try that. Apart from that, you can have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/intrusion_...ith_ossec_hids

Create an A record for it and point it to your server's public IP address. http://www.howtoforge.com/traditional_dns_howto
