Check DNS & Master DNS defined by SOA problem

    I've always just registered domains, linked them to hosting and been fine.

    Lately I've been having problems with my current host (time to change?), mail and the domains.

    I just signed up to one of those Check DNS type of services and here's an example of the feedback I've got.

    "Master DNS defined by SOA" is a new concept to me. Are these structured right?
    How do I check them?

    ns2.estatement.co.nz records are conflicting with what is being provided by ns1.estatement.co.nz.

    A quick fix would be to remove ns2.estatement.co.nz from the list of nameservers you have at your registrar.

    it seems dns records in your hosting account were messed up. What need to be done are
    - remove current ns records ns1.estatement.co.nz.andrewking.co.nz, ns2.estatement.co.nz.andrewking.co.nz
    - re-add the correct ns records ns1.estatement.co.nz, ns2.estatement.co.nz

    Thanks!

    When I view the info in at the registrars they are just ns1.estatement.co.nz, ns2.estatement.co.nz

    I have no idea why the extra domain info gets added on.

    read again my post. The issue is at your hosting configuration. Not at your domain registrar
