Redirection and not my website

    I just bought a brand new domain today and built the website for it. The domain was not a dropped or expired domain. And I did not buy it from anyone else. I have checked my issue in both in IE and FF. I also have cleared my history and cache.

    The issue is that someone has my website on a redirction to their website. The site I just built is allinsurance.info. Each time I put the link up so people click through, instead of www.allinsurance.info coming up www.yesinsurance.us comes up.

    Any suggestions and or ideas? Or is it just on my end I am seeing this?

    Check with your hosting company. I say give them a phone call. They might be able to help you in the right direction.

    It appears so. Thanks. I bought the domain at Dotster. Because I own my own server. I should go through them dotster/first if anything. I bought it with Dotster with their 99 cent deal that is going on until January 20th.


    Hmmmm... I wonder whats up with Dotster for allowing me to register an owned name.

    Have known glitches to happen before (not with dotster but other domain registrars) but the most common reason has been because the person has miss typed what they wanted to buy - always worth checking that you havent bought www.alllinsurance.info or such in error

    They sent me confirmation letters. And they took the money out of my bank account. As well as sending confimation letters of me locking the domain and setting the dns. And they have it still in my account. Just sent an email to Dotster asking whats up and for a refund.
