Is the nameserver set correctly?


I have a website (www.infoborder.com) on a shared webserver. Since last wednesday my website's accessibility is very bad(one day I can access the another day I can't), but the IP address of that shared server is always accessible.
When I can't access my website, the tracert command gives me the following message:
"Unable to resolve target system name www.infoborder.com."
When I can access my website the tracert command gives me this:

"

"

I think the problem is in the nameserver of my hosting company.
Can somebody check is this nameserver set correctly?
The nameserver is: ns.secuerhost.com
The nameserver 1 is:ns1.securehost.com


Thanks!

When you are having trouble accessing the site, do this from any linux box...

host www.infoborder.com ns.securehost.com

What that does is query that NS for your www records (or any record you want it to try).

Here's what I get...

__SNIP__

alewis@alwork:~$ host www.infoborder.com ns.securehost.com
host: Couldn't find server 'ns.securehost.com': Name or service not known

__SNIP__

So, if those really are your nameservers, there could well be a problem with them.
