Seems more like a DNS/nameserver problem. Are you sure that the URL is connecting to the right (name)server? Have you checked the (reverse) IP?
Another reason could be the main URL in Wordpress. Perhaps you copied the install from another websiteand didn't change the site url? Also did you empty your cache?

No, the other site is not mine. The nameservers are ok, if i go to mysite.com it is my web, with the just installed wordpress and the automatic post, so is my site. But when i go to wp-admin it redirects to another site.
another thing i just discovered is that if i install wordpress without httpswww. and just http it does not redirect.

It does sound like the domain didn't register properly in your hosts zone records. I'd have them look at it before anything else.

Yep, could be n SSL or zone problem. Better check for all records to be addressed properly.

The problem is in your database.
You need to manually edit the config table using SQL and change the root URL to the new domain.
What I do is mysqldump, then substitute all mentions of old URL to new URL, then recover the dump. Easier than going one by one in SQL.

You might wanna use Wordpress search and replace script. (Only if its not a DNS issue)
Step 1: Download this script
https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
Step 2: Upload it to your directory where you installed Wordpress
Step 3: Rename the file searchreplacedb2.php to somethingelse.php
Step 4: Open the file http://yourwebsite.com/somethingelse.php
Step 5: type in the domain name anothersite.com in the search field and your domain name in replace with field.
Click replace it will populate your database click okay and you are done.
Side Note: Above mentioned steps are for the script 2.1.0 not 3.0
