As opposed to www.urban75.net/vbulletin. It worked for awhile for a few
days ago and then I'm back to the using the IP address. Anyone have any
ideas? This all happened when I changed to Ubuntu. Although that could be
coincedence bareing in mind my location is South Africa.

$ host www.urban75.net
www.urban75.net has address 82.138.249.21

DNS works, and the address seems to work too, maybe your DNS settings wrong 
or
your ISPs DNS is in bad shape.

http://www.squish.net/dnscheck/ reckons that one of Mike's nameservers,
82.138.250.132, is down at the moment.  That could well account for why
your ISP is sometimes getting failed lookups.  Afraid I don't use U75
very often so I don't know if this has been going on long.

I passed the problem onto U75 and they're following it up with their
own ISP.
