Redirect

Hello,

I have my hosting with site5.com, and i have freedomcallwarriors.com as a domain pointer on the same FTP. I have my DNS servers pointed at the FTP's dns server's, and my forums are set up, working properly at the link:

http://www.freedomcallwarriors.com/forum

However, when i type in JUST

freedomcallwarriors.com/forum

It redirects me to Dynadot's homepage.. same as if i type in

freedomcallwarriors.com

I'm just curious, why would this happen? It works if i include the www., but other than that, it redirects to here. Any tips/suggestions? thanks...

It is probably a caching issue. Your computer or ISP has the previous name server settings for freedomcallwarriors.com cached, but www.freedomcallwarriors.com was not cached.

You can try restarting your computer to clear your computer's cache. If that doesn't work then it's probably your ISP's cache. Their cache should expire in a couple days.

If you view freedomcallwarriors.com/forum from a computer and ISP that hasn't visited your site before the DNS change, you should see that the correct page loads.

Thanks for the help, but the only problem with that is, that It does it here, at home, where I could understand it being chaced, yet, it also does it from the School's Netowork computers that I attend. And there is no reason it should be cached there either locally, or within the ISP.

I will just give it a couple of days, and see how it turns out. I will be back if it continues.. Hopefully now though..

Thanks again :)

It may take up to 5 days for name server caches to expire. It depends on your ISP.

I just checked both:
freedomcallwarriors.com
www.freedomcallwarriors.com

They both forwarded to the same page. So for the rest of the internet your forwarding is working properly. You just have to wait for your local cache to expire for you to get the same result.
