    Might be a redirect from your own site. First check the source code of your index.html file to see if there is no malicious redirect code inserted?

    Why are you giving him such odd advice when you had the identical problem and just posted in your own thread about how it was solved? (https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/ip-hijacked.2634038/)

    Someone is merely pointing their domain to his domain/IP. He needs to contact them or their host to ask that they stop.

    You need to check if in the index.html on the <head></head> there is a code like this one:
    <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.theirdomain.com/index.html">
    HTML:

    remove it and you are all good

    Browntwn, you are indeed correct that I had my own thread. Though, I would not consider it as odd advice as the first port of call would be to determine whether there is malicious redirect code on the actual page in the original index.html file and this is exactly what I did in my personal experience. I have operated several domains for more than 14 years. A couple of these domains at one time were redirected to duplicate sites and I was able to resolve this by removing offensive, obfuscated PHP or Javascript redirect coding on my own index.html file. This only happened when I outsourced scripting to a programmer and when they uploaded the files, quite possibly they were infected with a trojan.

    Someone pointing their domain to my own domain/IP was something relatively new to me, especially when they had no benefit or gain from it, i.e. no ads, no affiliate links etc...

    I admit I may overlooked the fact that someone is pointing their domain to his domain/IP and your advice is a logical explanation, but not the only explanation. I stand corrected.

    You are right it could be something else, but this seemed like the obvious answer to me and when I read your thread about the exact problem, I was just surprised you didn't just tell him about what you had just resolved with your site. Anyway, hopefully he can get it sorted out.

    Thank you, I also think that he point his domain to my domain, and he use cloudflare, so I could not find more.

    I reupload all files, but no any helpful.


    This is not my hosting issue. He frame my site or point his domain to my domain/IP? Any others ideas?

    Thanks all brothers.

    I am no expert, but you could control it on your end and there is no need to even deal with him. You could probably block it all together in your server conf files. You could probably tell google to ignore it in your htaccess files and you could probably deal with it using canonical urls telling google that one domain is the real one. (since he is just showing your site any rules you set will apply to "his" site as well).

    went to scriptmasters dot org, and it takes me to scriptmasters dot info? are both yours or your 'friends'?
    Would this be possible, change your main navigational links to direct full links. This way when someone on his site, when they change pages should be directed automatically back onto your site.

    Or how about this. Most webhosts have index.html as priority above index.php (some hosts might change the order of preference) so create index.html and in that, put the code such as:
    This way, as soon as a visitor comes from his site, it sees index.html, which then takes them from his site, and puts them on your site at the index.php page?
    try it and let me know how that goes for you.

    Hmmm, I think try again.
