There is a website that I am assisting with which, when you do a DNS look up on Who.is, returns a Website Status of "inactive". I also noticed the server type is incorrectly reported.

This is not a website I generally use for DNS queries so am unsure if it is reliable. Using other DNS checking services reports what Iwould expect and the site is functioning correctly.

Research I have done with regard to Website Status: inactive suggests an issue with the DNS configuration?

I am looking for help understanding if this is something to be concerned with and if possible how to update this value or how it gets set in the first place.
