On the specific registrar whois, it lists the DNS servers as:
Domain servers in listed order:
NS1.TITANSOLUTIONS.NET
NS2.TITANSOLUTIONS.NET
I'm thinking either gotwoot.net didn't renew the domain from the 2 year interval, and the DNS servers got updated. Upon noticing this, gotwoot renewed, and the DNS servers are reflected back at their registrar, but hasn't propagated back to the gtld-servers.
Another scenario is that gotwoot.net has shut down, but I'm thinking/hoping this isn't the case.
I queried NS1.TITANSOLUTIONS.NET and put these values in my hosts file
