At any point during registration or configuration did you notice a field to enter an IP address to set as the domain authority?
If not, you'll probably have to request a domain transfer from ICANN, and you'll receive an email authorizing the transfer of the domain to your desired IP.
Right now the domain is registered to an IP in a range owned by SBC Internet Services.
What I'm worried is that you paid for a website hosting, and not a domain through a real DNS registar.
Edit: After reading web.com's front page, it appears they offer `Complete DNS Management'. So, the ability does exist. I can't provide any direct support because I'm not familiar with web.com

Well, if you don't have authority of the domain and web.com does, they'll email web.com instead of you. Regardless, read my edit in the previous post.

As you can see web.com does have authority. Their `DNS management' will probably allow to you set up some fowards, subdomains, and mail exchangers; regardless, you do not have authority over it yourself.
Authoritative answers can be found from:
vsurf.com
origin = Ns5.web.com
mail addr = webmaster.vsurf.com
serial = 1093896563
refresh = 10800
retry = 3600
expire = 604800
minimum = 86400
You need to go on your host and put ur DNS info, no?
