Yep, DNS issue.  In technical terms, have your ISP (AT&T) create
two more "A" records in the zone file of estes-express.com - and
provide AT&T with the IP address of, in your case, www.estes-express.com
for those two new records to point to.

It's not an NSI issue (looks like they're being bought by VeriSign, btw)
because you're just changing a zone file that AT&T already has and
which NSI is already pointing to.

That's a matter of your web server - tho' yes, most do this.
Perhaps look for "virtual server" in your server's documentation...
