Those are not the correct IP addresses for those machines:

smilodon: [~]$  for i in 1 2; do dig +short ns$i.fasthost.com; done
216.180.225.171
63.247.77.151

fasthost.com have misconfigured their name servers. It sounds like they
have given you incorrect addresses for ns1 and ns2, and they have not
deployed your zone to the ns1 and ns2 that actually answer on the
internet. ns1 and ns2.fasthost.com are lame for musiccornerltd.com:

smilodon: [~]$ dig ns musiccornerltd.com @ns1.fasthost.com
