Is Sedo hijacking my domain?

[hinksta]

I had a domain parked at sedo for sale some time ago but removed it as I decided to use it. Early today when I visited my site the homepage was all messed up with advertising from sedo all over it, after I refreshed the page a few times it was gone.
Could you please tell me what is going on.

If the domain is still reg'd to you (check it hasn't expired ) and is set correctly on your nameservers, then the only reason you might see a sedo page is if you are getting a cached copy either on your pc or from your isp.

Actually, re-reading your post, was the sedo stuff actually on your website or was it a sedo page?

Sounds like the page was cached on your local machine. refresh and it would disappear.

Hi Fred, it is still reg'd to me, parked somewhere other than sedo who say it wasn't them and pointing to the right servers. I cannot be looking at a cached copy because it hasn't been listed on sedo for well over a year.

sounds like a caching issue, hold shift and click refresh if ever your not sure.

I dont see how it could be a caching issue

whatever it turns out to be, I guarantee you it won't be sedo who are trying to hijack it.

best of luck with it

If the nameservers are correct, and it isn't the other parking company, then it can't be anything else!

The only other possibility I can think of, albeit very unlikly, is that you have a virus/trojan running on your PC redirecting you randomly to fake sites

Something is very odd with this, it's not poossible to be a caching problem, the listing at sedo was removed before I even had this pc and It has no virus or trogan.

If the nameservers are not with Sedo and your not pointing them there, Sedo would have absolutely no control over your domain.

I had this recently, someone looking at one of my sites saw something totally different.

Do this:

Start
Run
CMD (opens a command window)

type:

ipconfig /flushdns

Should sort your problem.

I found the page with the ads cached on google (great)
