No.
If your host was using Named Virtual Hosts, which I bet they are, this would most definately happen if you didn't change the nameservers.
See what happens is, a host puts a couple hundred smaller clients on the same server. All with the SAME IP ADDRESS (yes, that means the porn site has the same IP address as the restraunt).
As long as there is a virt host entry in your apache configs, you're good to go. However, if the domain is removed, and your name servers still point to the old IP address, the server defaults to the site at the top of the list.
Meaning, if a pornsite was at the top, thats the one that would come up.
the only way (out side of CHANGING YOUR FUCKING NAME SERVERS) to prevent this, would be for a) your host to assign different IP's to every single domain on the server (which is fucking stupid) or b.) to reassign the IPs once a domain has been moved (AGAIN, FUCKING STUPID).
The easiest and best way to avoid this is TO CHANGE THE FUCKING NAME SERVERS!!!
Either way, there will be some lag while the DNS updates world wide......
