    Too lazy to set a custom title

    how is this possible? website with www loads a different page

    than the same site (url) wihtout the www part:
    (example)
    http://www.mysite.com
    loads one page but
    http://mysite.com
    loads a different one

    wtf? I contacted my host but this is something I have never seen before, there's no htaccess there, there's only ONE html file and that's index.html and no other files whatsoever

    I got the site couple of days ago and pointed the DNS to my host, now when I type:
    http://www.mysite.com
    it loads the page that was there before I purchased the site
    and when I type:
    http://mysite.com
    it loads the right page (the one and only index file that I uploaded) ???

    p.s. this is not a browser cahce, I cleared the cache and even tried from one of my other PCs just to make sure

      don't click the links - I have no idea what's there (in case there are some nasty popups or shit) - they are just an example

          'www' is just a subdomain (generally the only and default subdomain used)

              because the host configured the dns wrong
              if you try and ping it, I bet it resolves it to different IP's - if it does, then I'm right

                  ok, but that still doesn't explain anything

                  I own thedomain, the DNS servers are my host servers, there's no htacces there so
                  http://www.mysite.com and http://mysite.com should load the same page, and how come http://www.mysite.com loads the page that used to be there 3 or 4 days ago???

                      Aye, that's it.. I have had this happen to me on a few domains before.

                          They could both be on the same ip just different folders on the server. I would suggest having your host fix it. Its most likely in your named file or your apache. Sorry I do not remember the exact file names I am not a tech ;-)

                              just pinged the two urls (with and without www)
                              it resolves to the same ip address

                                  check the folders your web files are located in. You may have a 'www' folder and a 'public_html' forlder (for example) which are not actually the same thing, although in most cases a www folder is not allowed.

                                          that's not the case either:




                                          (the test file got created couple of minutes ago by my host - just to test something I guess, I'm still waiting for them to fix it though)

                                              the virtual host is not setup properly, so one goes to the default, the other to the good page.

                                                              could be easily done with php. Grab whatever text is in the url, make redirects based on the string. HTML files can be parced by the php processor by the way.

                                                                      I tried in Opera, K-Meleon, and IE and both urls load two different pages
                                                                      I tried on two other PCs and get the same shit (although all my PCs share the same connection)

                                                                      anyone willing to test the two urls for me, please post your ICQ
                                                                      ONLY IF YOU HAVE ANTIVIRUS etc, the one that I get (which is not mine) has 3 or more pop-ups chained and could have some other shit
