What is ftp.berlinhtsweather.com? Using redirect to my site?

Post by ace2 »

Just checking stat counter and I see http://ftp.berlinhtsweather.com/ is redirecting to my site.

From China.
Should I be worried about such activity??

berlinhtsweather.com has the same IP address as your site because it's on the same server (mine). A reverse lookup on the address will give any one of about 30 domain names.

That's OK then, was unable to trace IP as on mobile phone.

I understand my site shares the same IP with others cause it's on your server, but how come the link http://ftp.berlinhtsweather.com/ opens my site?
Even if I open the link with /cam.htm or any other htm it's directing that domain(http://ftp.berlinhtsweather.com/) to my pages??

Because those names are for FTP (which is why they start with ftp!), and the web server is configured only for the domain name and the domain name with www on the front. I suppose I could configure it to accept all of the ftp ones as well, but there are about 30 of them and I have better things to do with my time at the moment. Your domain name is first alphabetically, so it serves your site when it gets a name it hasn't been configured for.

Sorry - I've just fixed it. There are still 29 others which will go to your site which I haven't changed yet, though.
