I really don't know whats going on.

I can't access my site through its domain name. ie, www.mysite.com.

I check with my webhost, and they say everything is up and running. I tried my back up address (http://webhost.com/~user), and that works fine.

My domain name is registered through http://www.enom.com/. I didn't manually register it, though. It came with my hosting package from my prior webhost. I switch hosts about 2 months ago and everything has been great up till now.

Where do you think the problem could be. I have no clue how to go about fixing it.

Should I transfer my domain to a better place? like godaddy.com?
If so, how do i go about doing that.

Thanks for your help.

Have you changed your Nameservers at your Registrar? New Nameserver info is, or should be, always provided by your Hoster, so you know what to change over to.

I havn't changed it recently, no. I changed nameservers a few months ago when I switched hosts, but up until now its been working fine.

Im so pissed off. I applied for google's adsense last night, and my site must have went down right after I applies because I wasn't accepted.

http://dnsreport.com/

Should help you to sort out where the problem is. You can then take the information to your Hoster and ask them for advise on the problem.

The onlything my domain failed on was Reverse DNS entries for MX records, which has to do with mail if im not mistaken.

If dnsreport can use your Domain name, you should be able to as well -- as it uses the same information and just reports it back.

This is starting to sound like a problem your Hoster should be able to help you with, better than anyone else.

Maybe your domain is not accessible from different locations... try www.network-tools.com as well..
