What's the deal with my host?

[Buzz]

How is it that every so often I find my domain name pointing to some obligatory site? Is my host screwing with me? I mean they do have to intentionally change the address don't they?

I think they are all doing dope...
Want to give some details? You have made them aware right? I mean if they are where you left them. http://www.cybertechhelp.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Yeah, but I pay for my hosting Bill. Services should be a bit better since I'm forking out $$$ for them!

"pointing to some obligatory site"

Buzz what d'ya mean by that. How does the page your domain name takes you to look ????


...and how long has your domain name been working (ie. DNS updated when ?)

Domain was registered about a two weeks ago. After the first 3 days the DNS was updated and it's been fine all this time. I checked it today it it loaded some Art Industries site selling tech stuff. The site it loaded wasn't even finished I think maybe my host used my space as a test spot! Believe me I screamed and yelled at them. If it happens again I believe I'll be in the market for a new host.
They did correct it as soon as I fired of an email to them. The bums!
