this is bad

eric-coleman.com seems to have vanished. I'm trying to get an answer as to why now. I'm not happy about this.

HMM.

You're in whois just fine.

You're in the root DNS just fine, but your nameservers look like they are pointing to a parking nameserver. According to whois, your registration expires Sept. 7. Perhaps your registrar has some kind of park policy if you get within X days?

Hrm. From whois data:

Domain servers in listed order:
NS1.NT-DNS.COM
NS2.NT-DNS.COM

Ok... but ...

> host -t ns eric-coleman.com ns1.nt-dns.com
Using domain server:

COOL !!!

That means nothing to me at all. polyfrog registered it, and is going to call me when he can. He will probably explain it to me ... with the full realization that I have no idea what he is talking about.

What I got from Netrillium is

If your domain is registered outside of Enom, please change the DNS to:
ns1.phoenix-dns.com
ns2.phoenix-dns.com

Yes, you are on the right track. That needs to be in your record at the domain registrar, not the NS1.NT-DNS.COM entries, which are pointing your site towards that spammer instead.

[dement1a.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I'm seeing too. Eric, who hosts your website? You need to get into Dotster and change your DNS entries to point to their name servers.

[ericcoleman]

polyfrog registered it for me. He's going to call shortly.

Netrillium is the host, they told me (from what I understand) pretty much the same thing

Park policy?

Even if he hadn't renewed yet? He's paid until 9/7. Wouldn't that mean he should expect service through 9/7?
