Uh.  Looks pretty resolvable to me...

[mike at fatalpha mike]$ host ptdesigns.biz
ptdesigns.biz has address 205.139.138.11
ptdesigns.biz mail is handled (pri=10) by mail.netmar.com

Now, dig on fatalpha isn't working quite right:

[mike at fatalpha mike]$ dig ptdesigns.biz

But a newer dig handles the new TLDs correctly:
$ dig ptdesigns.biz
