After receiving the e-mail about server migration, I did a quick dig on hostony.com to see if anything else was changing. According to my dig, your name servers have changed. This was a chock, so I checked whois, and it too shows that your name servers have changed.

Anyone know why?

dig hostony.com

But, what is the weirdness ?

x.name-services.com are the geodistributes nameservers provided by eNom

QUOTE(http://www.enom.com/aboutus.asp)

We maintain multiple domain name servers located at different locations throughout the United States. Each of these locations has multiple high-bandwidth Internet connections, battery or diesel generator back-up power, security, and access to three different major Internet backbones. These dispersed, redundant name servers give eNom the ability to always delegate your names, with no interruptions in service. We have gone to great lengths to make sure at least one of our name servers is up at all times. The names of our name servers are as follows:

Server Name
Primary DNS1.NAME-SERVICES.COM
Secondary DNS2.NAME-SERVICES.COM
Secondary DNS3.NAME-SERVICES.COM
Secondary DNS4.NAME-SERVICES.COM
Secondary DNS5.NAME-SERVICES.COM
