Monique, Thanks for responding. I've updated my name servers to use my covad's (ISP) name servers (ns1/ns2.covad.net). I then updated my covad account and created a A record for www.jonnsorganicvegetables.com with the proper static IP address. Now I'm just waiting for this information to propagate.
If you have any other advice for a newbie like me, I'd love to hear it. "Monique Y.
