dns

I had registered a domain at namecheap and forwarded the dns to my host at vps.net.

The strange thing is, when I did that the site was showing up. I even uploaded files and everything was displaying correctly on my new domain.

Now, it is just the namecheap holding page again. I have no idea why this is happening as I haven't touched the configuration since it was working.

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

When I enter http://domain.com it redirects to http://www.domain.com and the namecheap holding page is shown. Prior to this domain.com was showing what the host was serving.

I am completely lost and have no idea where to start so I'd appreciate any help I can get.
