You have to issue:

sm01@stt008:~$ host trade2win.com
trade2win.com has address 208.43.120.229
trade2win.com mail is handled by 10 smtp5.intermedia.net.

By the way, it seems the domain name has not defined an alias for "www" 
so when you query for it, it cannot resolve:

sm01@stt008:~$ host www.trade2win.com
Host www.trade2win.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Here also, type:

sm01@stt008:~$ traceroute trade2win.com
traceroute to trade2win.com (208.43.120.229), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
...

And dig:

sm01@stt008:~$ dig trade2win.com
