Strange. I did a dig and used affordablehost.com as the name server and
everything came out ok. I then quit when it asked me for a password. 
What you probably need to do is to track down using dig or nslookup
which name server is messing up. Check your resolv.conf file, and check
those specifically as servers. Note that below I checked the authority
section, then the primary name server (north.affordablehost.com). 

dig -t SOA telesto.affordablehost.com
