Multiple Users/Websites

I'm running Apache 2.0.48 on XPHE, and I can run a server with no
trouble, but I don't understand how to properly make user directories
so as to have let's say 3 websites running from my server ->
http://ipaddress/~user1/, http://ipaddress/~user2/, etc

also, for some reason, the way i have it setup now, it's working for
my original user (whose site was located in a regular directory
before, c:\Apache) but now when i created the directories
c:\apache\nick and c:\apache\user2 etc, only the 'nick' user account
will work, even though ALL 3 DIRECTORIES have index.html files in
them!

i've checked out some Apache help sites, but I don't understand what
I'm doing wrong! Please help! (http://www.nickbeaton.tk/ for the
ip/site)

Your problem has nothing to do with apache. The problem is with the redirection
service you are using & the way they only direct to the absolute address
registered.

http://www.nickbeaton.tk/ will only go to http://24.222.91.136/
& that folder doesn't have a html file. :)
To go directly to
http://24.222.91.136/~brandy/
http://24.222.91.136/~james/
http://24.222.91.136/~nick/
you would need to register each address or use a different redirection service.

I use https://www.dyndns.org/ & there are many more free ones that will go
directly to subfolders.

--> I understand that, but if you go to http://24.222.91.136/ RIGHT
NOW, you can click on 1 of 3 subfolders: http://24.222.91.136/~nick/,
http://24.222.91.136/~james/, and http://24.222.91.136/brandy/

--> thing is, only the one with /~nick/ works when you click on it (it
has an index.html file in that folder) but the others DON'T WORK (even
though THEY ABSOLUTELY DO HAVE A .html folder) ?! -> am I just
confused or was there a misunderstanding?!
