I have been a long time reader of the forums here but this is the first time I have ever had to make a post. I have a domain I registered in 2002 - sasara.org. I didnt start to actively use it until Nov. of 2005. I have it registered till 2007.

I primarily use the site for personal purposes and just have a webtemplate on the index that hasnt been edited for my site. I mainly use it for storing files. Last night was the last night I was on it and it resovled perfect to my host's (nexcess.net) nameservers they gave me due to it being on a reseller account. This morning at work and at home (two different isps) I am getting pages not found. I immediately went and check my control panel at my host and all the files are there, no modifications. I even went so far as to check the code under the index page to make sure I hadn't had malisicous code inserted and found none. The site is going to www2 . sasara. org - some page that links back to www . ace - discuss . org . uk /

I checked where I have my domain registered at (godaddy) and nothing is wrong with it there. I even did a whois on it at whois . sc to see what the info says. All the information on there is to me.

I don't know who to contact over this - Do I contact Nexcess or do I contact GoDaddy???????? And how in the world can someone register a www2 domain and it "hijack" my normal www domain????

I am at such a loss >< Help Please?

contact your webhost about this.

http://66.118.191.105

http://sasara.org/

Found out what exactly happened..somewhat. I forgot about the email they had sent out a few weeks ago alerting their customers that they would be moving sites to new servers.

When they moved them over last night 2 of the 3 where moved with no issues. Apparently the one, sasara.org, had a config issue that was corrected.

The support guys at Nexcess were very fast in replying back to me. Just have to wait a few hours for the DNS to update and I should have my domain going to the correct web content.

Thanks for the help!
