nameservers and cname?

Looking for a bit of help here.

Normally when I do sites, I do everything and I keep my domain name and hosting with the same company (vidahost).

However for this project I am doing the development and hosting but the domain name is with a different company names.co and is controlled by another party. I requested the name server to be changed to ns1.vidahost.com since this was done the page been displayed has changed. however its not the page that I was expecting. I was after a nice new installation of Wordpress however I get a Cpanel apache welcome page.
After contacting Vidahost and looking at mx tools and intoDNS the name servers reporting back are

Code:

Nameserver records returned by the parent servers are:

ns1.phase8.net.   ['85.233.160.68'] (NO GLUE)   [TTL=86400] 
ns2.phase8.net.   ['85.233.164.62'] (NO GLUE)   [TTL=86400] 
ns0.phase8.net.   ['85.233.160.69'] (NO GLUE)   [TTL=86400]

After asking the guy to check that he has the right details this is what I get

These changes were done over 48 hours ago, and like I said the page displayed changed almost instantly.

Any Ideas?

Cheers Roy,
I though as much.
If I get him to change the nameserver properly. Would I have to add the A and MX records to the hosting config to, on myside?

Like I said i normally keep everything together to avoid confusion

So I would have to add

Code:

MYSITE.org	MX	1 day	10	mail.MYSITE.org
MYSITE.org	MX	1 day	20	mail2.MYSITE.org
mail.MYSITE.org	A	1 day		91.109.13.38 (Liverpool, H8, GB)
mail2.MYSITE.org	A	1 day		91.109.13.38 (Liverpool, H8, GB)
MYSITE.org	SOA	1 day		ns0.phase8.net. support.phase8.net. 2014051501 28800 3600 604800 86400

Never seena SOA record before?
