Someone has registered www.digital-animations.com as a nameserver. 

   Server Name: WWW.DIGITAL-ANIMATIONS.COM
   IP Address: 193.132.240.213
   Registrar: MELBOURNE IT, LTD. D/B/A INTERNET NAMES WORLDWIDE
   Whois Server: whois.melbourneit.com
   Referral URL: http://www.melbourneit.com

Contact the above registrar to remove the entry or fix the IP address it
maps to on the gTLD servers.
