Hi,

I was looking over my stats and saw some weird sub domains on my site like dderdsww.mydomain .com and the page still shows up when you click on it even thought there is no subdomain. also if you type anything before the domain like hhjhjfjf.mydomain. com it shows up also.

anyone have an idea as to what is wrong?

thanks

probably an accidental typist.
this is why you should implement domain name canonicalization by rewriting the incorrectly requested url to your canonical domain name (i.e. example.com or www.example.com or somethingelse.example.com)
otherwise you will also get duplicate content issues...

You apparently have a wildcard DNS record set up. Change it.
