It appears that your DNS configuration has some issues: As indicated in the DNS health reports below, the nameservers for your domain are not resolving properly, and there are no MX (mailserver) records either. It does appear that you have A and CNAME records for the www subdomain however:

Therefore, I would suggest working with your DNS provider (e.g., your domain registrar, webhosting/ISP company, or third-party DNS service) to resolve these DNS issues first.

If you want the root domain (techtint.com) to be accessible but redirected to the www subdomain, first you'll need to have an A record for the root domain that points to the same IP address as the A record for the www subdomain does (i.e., 96.127.134.97).

Next you'll want to add your root domain as a site in IIS7 as detailed in the steps here: Create a new site in IIS 7

After your root domain is reachable from a browser (note that it can take up to 72 hours for DNS changes to propagate throughout the Internet), you'll want to redirect the root domain to the www subdomain as covered here: IIS URL Rewrite – rewriting non-www to www
