So here are some troubleshooting steps:
1. Is you web server running? If not, what type and version?
2. Is the A record(s) resolving for the website?
3. Is there a firewall that might be blocking it?

John, providing some more information, like what distributions you are using and what the domain/URL your having issue with, would be more helpfully.

Hi, Travis.
1. The linode is currently running with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
2. The A record should be working because it was pointing to another server on MediaTemple. So as you notice, I am trying to switch to linode. So what I did was when I purchased the linode, I was given an IP and I used that IP for the A record in mediatemple for that domain.
3. How do I know if there is a firewall being active? I don't remember activating any firewall unless it was by default.
Did you install a full LAMP stack? (i.e. PHP, MySQL, etc)
update: now
Your domain registry doesn't appear to be listing Linode's DNS servers for your domain, but ns1.netfirms.com and ns2.netfirms.com instead. You can change this on Tucow's web interface.
'dig +trace', 'whois', and 'nslookup' are your friends.
Netfirms is revamping their control panel (again..) and I am not entirely confident in it. I changed the NS records to ns1.linode.com and ns2.linode.com and then used the Linode DNS manager
