Domain/website/email not working

My domain sjtl.org has been hosted on plusnet for the last few years but last Thursday my email and website stopped working.
I'm no expert on dns, but doing a dig produced SERVFAIL so as far as I can tell the zone file doesn't seem to exist. I have raised a ticket, but so far no-one can help me. Any pointers would be great!
Thanks,
James.

Re: Domain/website/email not working

Going to www.sjtl.org is working for me, it's directing me to a site hosted your ccgi space. Is that not correct?
Looking at the history of changes on your domain records it seems to have had quite a few updates over the last few days, each time you update the domain records it takes time for DNS to propagate.
