edit: nm, my DNS is propogating
Do not believe that is a DNS issue. It appears to be pointing to the correct server. Cernax is hosted at ThePlanet (if memory serves), antennastoheaven.com points to an IP at ThePlanet, and that IP matches other Cernax hosted sites.

In other words, the DNS has propogated to the correct server.

Will do. Okay, so I'm looking through their support page and it says some stuff about Tickets. What is a ticket?

Ticket = support request submittion.

if you just regestered the account with godaddy, it will take a few hours for the domain to propagate. You have the nameservers setup correctly with godaddy correct?

I think I do, but I'm not sure.

Here is Cernax's instructions for setting up my nameservers. Being stupid I didn't follow them.

Instead of clicking the + by Domain Host Summary (like it says in step 4), I clicked the + by Nameservers Summary and edited that. It had places to enter the nameservers, but not the IP addresses. I did that and it says that my nameservers are the 2 that Cernax says to use.

However, when I click the Domain Host Summary it says:

Host: [here is a box to fill in] .ANTENNASTOHEAVEN.COM
IP Address: [boxes to fill in IP]

NS3.CERNAX.COM and NS4.CERNAX.COM are what it says to use. Should I enter that after host?

As stated above, your domain already propogated (at least partially). Do a super-reload in your browser, but "Testing" shows here.

(at times I feel as though what I am saying would be sadly missed even if I were engulfed in flame, and jumping up and down)

Support has been awesome and likewise the server.

Finally a post I agree with, it's about damn time :)

SonataWeb's Specials are pretty amazing considering their server specs, data center (GNAX or LiquidWeb), support (email, support helpdesk and AIM) and of course uptime.

I've only been a client for a little while but so far the speeds are blazing fast.

avoid ripplehost, lousy service, they basically charged me for nothing and my account was never set up correctly, had to dispute the charge with citibank.
