My domain (acb121.club), which I bought last week via Namecheap, is no longer resolving. I had everything setup properly, which was:
As mentioned, everything was working as expected the entire weekend, I was able to login to my wordpress page and work on my site. Today, I tried access the website, no dice. I never made any changes. I checked all configuration just in case, everything is the same. I’m using virtual host on LAMP (Ubuntu), and the other sites are accessible, but not my new site.
Here is the config for the virtual host file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin <redacted>
ServerName acb121.club
ServerAlias www.acb121.club
DocumentRoot /var/www/acb121.club/public_html
<Directory /var/www/html/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
I’m really puzzled as I made zero changes over the weekend and now cannot access the site. On DO network config, I verified I have 1 A record (pointing to my droplet), and 3 NS records (ns1-ns3).
Any ideas what can possibly be causing this issue?

Hey friend!
I did some digging on this for you and I found that the parent TLD for the .club domain is not returning any results for acb121.club. You should contact NameCheap about this, as they are the only ones who can push changes upstream to the parent TLD on your behalf.
To show my work, I first checked to find the DNS servers for the .club TLD by running this:
[root@gateway] ~ # dig NS club +short
ns4.dns.nic.club.
ns2.dns.nic.club.
ns6.dns.nic.club.
ns1.dns.nic.club.
ns3.dns.nic.club.
ns5.dns.nic.club.
Then I queried one of those DNS servers directly and received no result:
[root@gateway] ~ # dig NS acb121.club @ns1.dns.nic.club
