[CentOS] BIND Setup Issue

[Austin Einter]

My registrar is Godad.com, looks they have registered nameservers
ns1.netcloudjobs.com and ns2.netcloudjobs.com
Now I am able to resolve to ns1.netcloudjobs.com
I have only 1 IP address that x.x.x.43 , so I can not use x.x.x.44

>From my dedicated server, if I ping to www.netcloudjobs.com , it says

*[root at ip-173-201-189-43 named]# ping www.netcloudjobs.com
PING www.netcloudjobs.com (173.201.189.43) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- www.netcloudjobs.com ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 2217ms*

But if ping to netcloudjobs.com, it says

[root at ip-173-201-189-43 named]#

*[root at ip-173-201-189-43 named]# ping netcloudjobs.com
ping: unknown host netcloudjobs.com
[root at ip-173-201-189-43 named]#
*
My corresponding zone file looks as below
*
*
*[root at ip-173-201-189-43 named]# vi netcloudjobs.com.fwd
$TTL 86400
@       IN      SOA     ns1.netcloudjobs.com.     root.netcloudjobs.com. (
        2041071002  ;Serial
        3600        ;Refresh
        1800        ;Retry
        604800      ;Expire
        86400       ;Minimum TTL
)

@       IN      NS      ns1.netcloudjobs.com.
@       IN      NS      ns2.netcloudjobs.com.
@       IN      MX   0  mail.netcloudjobs.com.

ns1     IN      A       173.201.189.43
ns2     IN      A       173.201.189.43
www     IN      A       173.201.189.43
mail    IN      A       173.201.189.43

 Can somebody kindly tell me what I need to do so that, from my dedicated
server I can ping to netcloudjobs.com

Best regards
Austin
