If you registered your domain with Yahoo, it's probably just a placeholder page. If you change the name servers to point at FutureQuest, you should be all set.

it is currently using Yahoo! Server how do I get it or what should I type in? just futurequest, or futurequest.com or futurequest server?
Hello,
Your current Name Servers are:
Name Server: YNS1.YAHOO.COM
Name Server: YNS2.YAHOO.COM
You would want to change those to:
NS1.FutureQuest.net
NS2.FutureQuest.net
NS3.FutureQuest.net
As noted here:
http://www.FutureQuest.net/Services/Transfer/
Please note: Whenever you change a domain's DNS entries there is a period of propagation that will last from 24 to 72 hours on average before the domain name will work properly. This cannot be sped up as it is not in the control of any single entity.
More about propagation can be read here:
http://Service.FutureQuest.net/kb7
You can also check the Propagation status for your domain from here:
http://www.aota.net/dns/
Hope this helps,
Bob

Thanks all for your help, I have change as suggested, But now when I got to my sight it says "speaknetski.com" is not Authorized" is that because its not propagated yet? I hope thats it. once again thank you Hobbes and Bob. Im sure going to need your help, I did not think it would be this strange.
But now when I got to my sight it says "speaknetski.com" is not Authorized" is that because its not propagated yet?
That is correct, until Propagation completes you will see that Not Authorized message when accessing via Domain Name, if you access via IP address it will not show that. Email will also be affected and sending an email to that domain may or may not result in a bounce until Propagation completes.

also I went to www.aota.net/dns/ and typed in www.speaknetski.com and it said "no such domain so I tryed speaknetski and got the same answer. does that sound normal?
Technically www.speaknetski.com is a subdomain of speaknetski.com.
When you register a Domain you register the Main domain, in this case speaknetski.com. www.speaknetski.com is actually a subdomain.
You may have noticed when accessing some sites the address you will see is ww2.domain.com or sales.domain.com, these are simply subdomains as www actually is.
In some corporate domains example.com and www.example.com may resolve to two different web sites.
