ping request could not find host. Please check the name and try again
I bought A vps and somehow i configured the nameservers wrong ON CentsOS 7. so i installed the bind and followed the instructions on this link http://www.unixmen.com/setting-dns-server-centos-7/ . when i ssh the server and ping the host i get this result.<br/>

sorry for the html tags i will keep that in mind. what i understand from your answer is if i update the namserver ns1.livedigix.us and ns2.livedigix.us on another domain e.g, livedigix.info it will work. I have visited the link you mentioned and i think i have followed the steps. correct me if i am wrong. Thanks for your precious help but still i have n0t much idea what to do next. anyways i have updated the nameservers on another domain.
For the domain godaddy has a delegation created from the .us zone.... to theirs[ when you setup the domain name with them ], you need to add the NS (delegation) RR's to your DNS server in GoDaddies DNS system.
see other description.
Also note that NS1 & NS2 need to have different IP's..., if you need an extra DNS server, checkout ZONEEDIT. (or your favorite DNS hoster).

i think i have similar problem like this https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29012611/Centos-7-DNS-server-not-replying-to-clients.html but i am not sure how to add dns to public zone. Googled about this but i found nothing relevant. I have changed the dnnsec permission to no in named.conf.
BTW i have checked if the server IP is resolving the dns. Below is the result

Don't work on the reverse setup (PTR) until you have forward setup done. In fact my guess is you will NEVER get the reverse setup done. Unless you have at least a /24 allocated to you most ISP's will not delegate PTR zones to you.
As for the forward setup, it most likely works on your VPS host because you are pointing it to itself for DNS lookup and your DNS configuration is technically correct.
The problem is that the Internet does not know how to find you for DNS lookups. You can't point your NS records to host names that are within your own domain. Why? Because I don't know what IP address to send the query to for ns1.livedigix.us in order to lookup ns1.livedigix.us.
I think you need to following these directions to get your domain name setup correctly within GoDaddy and on the Internet.
