Second, a FQDN has a trailing period, so even if the URL my browser got was "http://www.getbettermail.com./" it should have been resolved properly. The browser I use (Opera) does resolve FQDNs properly. The problem is with the server hosting getbettermail.com. IIS fails to properly interpret the trailing period and returns the "No web site configured" error. Of course, Apache doesn't have this problem. FWIW, www.getbettermail.com seems to have come alive again.
