" a name" not three names?  Three sites on one (one ip address) box 
would need three DNS records pointed to the same IP.  You'd need to set 
up three records at your dns (no-ip).

Don't know how no-ip.info is set up, but did you set those up on no-ip 
or in apache.conf? (You'd need to set those up on both).

Using hosts bypasses the need for remote DNS.  So your Apache is 
probably set up fine.

Define "don't work"
