That's not how it works, but ok, if your logic says that.

Domain resolution is handled by a dns record/server in other words theres a SOA record for every domain.

Mail or MX record is handled usually by a different exchange or server than your WWW domain.

Easiest way to check is dig into the SOA by issuing few commands preferably on Linux.

dig owcpharma.com @soa
dig owcpharma.com @mx
dig owcpharma.com @a
dig owcpharma.com @cname

This should give you a better idea of how their SOA over owcpharma.com is structured. Then you can drill deeper, whether it's the server that handles A record is down, maybe they replaced index.html with a temprary one etc.

I used to administer a dns server with authority over reverse dns and split-dns, I know techies are just these assholes who don't know anything, looks at money2013.

My favorite interview question to ask a potential employee is a real low level explanation of what happens when someone types in www.domain.com in the browser, there's a whole world of activity that happens before you arrive at the server answering your question.
