    Looks like this sitemap problem is due to your hosting company. Why did you choose them? Can't you have your own domain name or at least go for "blogger"? Have you been able to access the sitemap before?

    Are your sure you are putting the sitemap.xml file in the site's root directory?

    If your are using Google's Webmaster Tools, the Sitemap submission tool will allow you to use

    Example: sitemap.xml
    Example: directory/other_sitemap.xml

    Also, do you need a .GSS file to display it?
