Oops, looks like you registered it with "godaddy", not Netsol...in any case, there is a HOST record registered for the wrong address and you need to delete it. As a general rule, it's a real bad idea to have your top level domain ("movierate.com") also be your nameserver - which is the most likely reason why a HOST record was added, since that is required for all nameservers. It looks like it is not a listed nameserver now, so I suspect that you must have changed it at some point. Bottom line: delete the HOST record in their database. -DG David Greenman Co-founder, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org President, TeraSolutions, Inc. - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
