I launched a website four days ago, and now when I try to crawl the website like Google bot in "Google webmaster tools" I end up with a response like this:

<h1>Moved Permanently</h1>
<p>The document has moved <a href="http://example.com/">here</a>.</p>

To further investigate this problem you should:
Look at your server log files. Find the requests from Googlebot and verify that they are resulting in 301 status. If you direct Googlebot to hit your server and there is no request in the server log, then you have a DNS problem. Your domain name is not pointing to the server that you think it is pointing to.
Download pages from your site yourself similarly to the way Googlebot does so. I use a command line program called "curl": curl -D - -s -A 'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)' mysite.example.com/ Verify that you get back the same response that Googlebot is getting.
