I have a localhost set up on my Windows 7 computer for developing a website. When I accidentally spelled GoDaddy wrong and typed goodaddy.com into Chrome and hit enter it displayed my localhost site. It didn't redirect me. The address bar still said goodaddy.com. When I viewed the source of the page it was just the source of my localhost site but the address bar still displayed view-source:goodaddy.com
I tried ctrl+f5 to refresh it, I also tried navigating to goodaddy.com on a private browsing window in Chrome and it still displayed my localhost site. Then I tried it in Firefox and Safari, and they are also displaying the localhost site while keeping goodaddy.com in the address bar.
According to WhoIs information this is a registered domain name. And when I navigate to it from a different computer it just says 'Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to goodaddy.com'
So why are all the browsers on my computer treating this domain a if it was localhost instead of a domain that it cannot connect to like it is? I don't understand at all.
Edit: Also if I typed a nonsensical domain that definitely does not exist (example: jkdkfs.com) Chrome properly just says 'Oop! Google Chrome could not connect to jkdkfs.com' instead of showing me my localhost site. How did this one domain get mapped to my localhost site across all browsers?!
I get the same thing. The domain appears to be registered by Moniker DNS (www.moniker.com) to go to 127.0.0.1. See there - http://whoisrequest.org/whois/goodaddy.com
Why? Who knows :)

I have a handful of sites set up in the root directory of IIS. I also have them set up in the host file, to route to my local IP address. When I open a browser and type 127.0.0.1/example/index.html, the page opens in my browser. I need to be able to type in example.com and have it open that page, but when I type example.com in a browser, I get the following:
Unable to connect
An error occurred during a connection to example.com.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a
few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make
sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Also, it changes in the address line of the browser to https://example.com. What could be preventing it from opening my local site?
Evidently it is an issue with the Firefox browser. I tried in both Edge (ew) and Chrome, and the local site came up as expected. I tried making a couple of network security changes in Firefox, but was not able to get it to work, so I'm just going to use Chrome.
Some of my foreign friend says site is not loading whereas its ok from my country Nepal.
Please check http://medicalbasic.net
If its not opening whats da possible reason.
I used free VPN, and found that all the sites on same server doesnot opens. But all sites open from Local Nepal IP.
The problem started from this August 2018, before it was fine.

so, you can contant to your DNS
I installed CentOS7 on Amazon EC2 instance, I also installed latest version of CWP(CentOS Web Panel). I created a new user 'myuser'. I associated a domain 'myuser.com' with the user. I uploaded the website files into '/home/myuser/public_html/' and I deleted the default HTTP test index.html present in the same directory. Now I can access my website at http://IP_ADDRESS/~myuser
But when I point 'myuser.com' with my server IP - IP_ADDRESS, it shows CWP HTTP test page. I even modified my host file to make 'myuser.com' point to IP_ADDRESS.
It just shows CWP HTTP test page.
Please someone help me in solving this issue.
Thanks in advance.
I got that just googling for "default page cwp"
Take a look here -> http://forum.centos-webpanel.com/apache/default-page-displayed-for-all-domains/
For Google compute engine (Maybe same scenario in Amazon) in CWP Setting don't use the same IP that is being used for cwp admin panel. Use the default IP that will be suggesting just below the field of Shared IP in cwp setting.
In google compute VM Instance you'll find two IP's internal and external
For domain name server setting use external IP while in cwp setting change Shared Ip to your internal IP.
After 10-15 minutes use Kproxy to browse your site again should work then.
Its just temporary issue. Clear browsing data. This mainly happens in Google Chrome. As you didnt open http://IP_ADDRESS/~myuser before creating newuser, you could view uploaded files, as you might have opened myuser.com before uploading and after pointing to server IP, you are still seeing default cwp template.
I've created a new website on m6.net hosting using fasthosts in the UK. When I try and load the website from my laptop I get a fasthosts landing page.
If I access the website from another machine it seems to work fine - http://www.validdomainauctions.com.
This would suggest it's not an issue with hosting, but I'm not sure why the domain redirects to a page on domain-holding.co.uk which states the following:
This "website holding" page is displayed when you visit
validdomainauctions.com because the owner has registered the domain
name (or set up a sub-domain), but has not yet created a website.
Without this page, website visitors would see a "Page not found"
error. The holding page confirms that the domain's DNS has been set up
correctly.
I've tried loading the website with Chrome, IE, and Mozilla, and the issue is the same with all of them, so it can't be the browser. I've tried clearing cache etc and that hasn't resolved anything.
I've called ipconfig /flushdns which hasn't helped either.
After a week of being utterly baffled it would seem the issue has rectified itself. Happy days.
I am facing a strange thing when i open some URL. The URL is (www.jobserve.com)
When i open this URL from my home, it opens some web page. Same url if i open from my office network, i get a entirely differnt URL, which is what i want.
Both, my home and office are in same city in India(3 Km. apart!) but somehow from my home network, i get served a entirely different page which is not what i am trying to open.(The page opening up in the office one is desired one. Office network has proxy/firewall which could be shielding the IP address for opening to outside world!).
My question is why is it happening so, because both accesses are happening from same country/city(but different ISPs though!), so there cannot be a country/IP specific host/content served differently than the global content of the same server.
So what could be happening here?
This raised another question in my mind(when i tried to find ip of the server using nslookup and domain name which returned error - "can't find www.jobserve.com/: Non-existent domain"):-
How can i find IP address of the web server using the domain name other than nslookup which is not working for this particular domain/url?
I recall there were some sites which find geographical location of server and show that pictorially, but i am not able to recall the url for that? Does anyone know?
Thanks,

Some sites look at the incoming IP address, lookup where it's coming from and then take various actions they think relevant to you - usually, redirecting you to a more-local site.
Of course, lots of sites react if they think they've "seen you before." For example, there may be cookies that tell them something about you. Or, they may be reacting to your browser.
Sometimes, organizations look at the source IP address and if it's coming from a business they may respond differently than if it's from a non-business ("home") IP.
And, sometimes companies intercept IP traffic and edit it in various ways. This is not normally done to web pages, but if your employer isn't happy with your watching porn at work ( -smile- ), they may do something about it! ...China is well known for doing this type of interception...
I work for an UK based company and all my regional settings are UK based. Moreover the internet is itself from UK so all websites act as if I am from UK.
Google.com goes to google.co.uk
virgin, T mobile ads every where
Does this give any idea about why you are getting a different website in office?
For finding the IP address: don't use a slash. Just
nslookup www.jobserve.com
Alternatively, you can use a website like http://www.domaintools.com/ (there are many others, that's just the first one that comes to my mind).
