George,

No txt extension. I can ping the host www.gjwpp.com that I set up.

I am currently getting the following:

The requested URL could not be retrieved

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.gjwpp.com/

The following error was encountered:

  Unable to determine IP address from host name for www.gjwpp.com
The dnsserver returned:

  Name Error: The domain name does not exist.
This means that:

 The cache was not able to resolve the hostname presented in the URL.
 Check if the address is correct.
Your cache administrator is root.

Thanks,

Jerry
