I can query (dig) your domain name from this end without any problems. Although dns1.websitestudios.net does seem to be answering requests. Note the status: dig @dns1.websitestudios.net deadlinecommunications.com ns ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @dns1.websitestudios.net deadlinecommunications.com ns ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 15243 ;; flags: qr rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;deadlinecommunications.com.

Which looks OK. dig @dns2.websitestudios.net deadlinecommunications.com ns ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @dns2.websitestudios.net deadlinecommunications.com ns ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 8676 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;deadlinecommunications.com.

So your problem could be that your attempts went to dns1, which seems to be offline.
