Your name servers are a mess:

Checking serials for mitchellcenter.info in:
        ns1.infoquesthosting.net
        ns2.infoquesthosting.net
Warning:        ns2.infoquesthosting.net has serial 9
                ns1.infoquesthosting.net has serial 5

Checking zone NS set against parent
Error:  ns2.infoquesthosting.net has ns set:
        ns1.infoquesthosting.net        ns2.infoquesthosting.net

        ns1.infoquesthosting.net has:
        ns1.infoquesthosting.net


Fix those errors and you'll at least have a place to start.
