Somehow it appears one of my high traffic domains has been hijacked. No matter if I change the dns entry to bodis or sedo it is forwarded using a site called dnslink.com to another users domain stealing my parking revenue. Perhaps dns manipulation somehow. It adds a ww10. Prefix to the domain and then is forwarded to someones parking lander. I notice their whois details are also protected by privacyprotect.org.

Any ideas appreciated. Im still digging deeper...

Shoot a message to your registrar. They should be able to help. DNS changes can take up to 2 days to take effect.
 
If you still own the domain, change the name servers.
 
Ok it seems that on my remote dedicated server the same domain works ok correctly using my own parking page.

Not as sophisticated as I thought then. Either local dns or malware perhaps.
 
Check your DNS settings.
Flush your dns after you change your dns.
Goto CMD and type ipconfig /flushdns
Let me know if you need any help.
 
Using nslookup on my laptop the domain resolves to the correct parking site. However opening the domain in firefox or chrome both get forwarded to the scammers parking page. Strangely its only this website. Other websites open fine which is why I didnt think it was malware to start with.

So maybe a form of malware on linux. Anyone recommend a good malware scanner for linux?
 
Hello ,
Nobody steals your domain's traffic, I'll explain to you what happened.
It's tier2 ad networks Redirects your Domain Parking traffic to the advertiser's website. But you will get paid for it don't worry.
so With tier2 ads you will be paid for impressions, not for clicks as with G tier1 ads

Here is the difference between tier1 and tier2 ads:​

  • Tier1/G ads are the static ad links which are used in conjunction with the parking pages to generate EPC (Earnings Per Click) revenue.
  • Tier2 ads use URL redirection to serve ads directly to the visitor. These ads are used to monetize domain names when Tier1/G ads are unavailable, e.g., Tier1/G faillisted, ad blockers, etc. Tier2 ads may also be used if a domain has received exclusive bids from a Tier2 advertiser.
 
Similar thing happened to me because I forgot to remove/or edit the NS in the Cloudflare dashboard, even after re-adding the domain in cpanel. At Namecheap for example, I noticed that domains not added to cpanel gets automatically parked. Also I can't see any section where I could get paid for that traffic when domain is parked.

hi @aurim I'm only talking about domain parking and not about hosting and DNS problems
here you can see where you could get paid for tier2 ads

Note that there are no clicks but there are 2 cents of tier2. Well, as you can see, I'm poor. The domain only got 2 cents:anyway::D
