You need to make an A record for sitename.com in you DNS

Well i think you should check out your zone files or your apache configurations to resolve the issue completely.

It's not to do with godaddy unless you are using their hosting. Email the hosting company you are using and tell them. They should be able to resolve it very quickly.
