OMG, I cant believe this is happening :(

Today i noticed that most of my sites redirect to unknown location when you try to access via Google and its results(others SEs are ok). I contacted hosting support and they said that they dont know whats the problem. :(

Any ideas? Is this proxy hijacking or something?

Thanks

Hello dzoni, and welcome to the forums.

Proxy hijacking takes away your rankings - you see your own title and description, but the domain name listed in the search results is that of the proxy server. If you see your own domain in the search results, then this doesn't sound like what you are describing.

If you can access your site directly through type-in, bookmarks and direct links from other sites and search engines, that seems to rule out a server hack. One possibility to check into is DNS cache poisoning [webmasterworld.com]

how about using different browsers?

maybe a vague possibility of a virus causing the redirect?
