There is a website that I am assisting with which, when you do a DNS look up on Who.is, returns a Website Status of "inactive". I also noticed the server type is incorrectly reported.

This is not a website I generally use for DNS queries so am unsure if it is reliable. Using other DNS checking services reports what Iwould expect and the site is functioning correctly.

Research I have done with regard to Website Status: inactive suggests an issue with the DNS configuration?

I am looking for help understanding if this is something to be concerned with and if possible how to update this value or how it gets set in the first place.

Who.is or any other web information database generally is not instantly updated, so dont worry and check your self via cmd or terminal.

If you are using windows :

Open run dialog box
Type cmd

>ping domain.com

if the site response without error, no problem.

If you are recently changed any dns settings in your server
Type:

> flushdns
>ping domain.com

If you are using mac

type terminal and

> ping -c 1 domain.com

if the site response without error, no problem.

If you are recently changed any dns settings in your server
Type:

> dscacheutil -flushcache;sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
> ping -c 1 domain.com

If the data from the whois server of the registry is correct, then there is no need to worry. Online tools such as who.is simply repeat this information. If you are seeing bad information from them, but good information directly from the source, then it is the online tool that has the problem.
