In the DNS management console open the jointfilms.com forward lookup zone,
and create a new host, leave the name field blank and give it the public IP
address I assume 64.8.197.42 if you give the correct domain, which doesn't
have the record.
Incedentally, you have only one DNS server for this domain, won't your ISP
host a secondary zone for you?
If not there are others that will for no charge.
