How to make domain point to another web directory?

My boss just bought the domain: sergiotapia.me for me, and agree'd the host my Wordpress blog on company servers.

We're using Apache (latest version).

The domain is purchased on NameCheap.com and the DNS settings are as follows:

enter image description here

And when I visit my URL, it's getting redirected to my VPS server without problems. The thing is, I want my blog to appears at once, not have a user select the folder and then see the blog.

My Wordpress blog is located at: /var/www/sergiotapia.me

On IIS, you would need to edit the Bindings and map a domain to an application. I'm guessing I have to do something similar on Apache.

What am I looking for here? Any tips on getting this working correctly?
