Help! Blog redirecting to another site

Help! Blog redirecting to another site

I have a Wordpress blog hosted here (www.spartansweblog.com). For unknown reasons some time last night, the address started redirecting to a site called www.insidemalaysiandreamgirl.com.

From what I can tell, I don't think it's a hack. More likely some glitch on DreamHost's end. I sent a message to support last night, but haven't received a reply yet.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do at this point? I'm pretty novice at this stuff, and this is obviously pretty frustrating.

Thanks in advance for any help people can provide.

Your site is sending the following header information

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently

Date: Sat, 12 Jul 2008 15:30:48 GMT

Server: Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) PHP/4.4.7 mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8c mod_fastcgi/2.4.6 DAV/2 SVN/1.4.2

X-Pingback: http://www.insidemalaysiandreamgirl.com/xmlrpc.php

Location: http://www.insidemalaysiandreamgirl.com/

Vary: Accept-Encoding


Probably is a hack, I'd check your .htaccess file.

Thanks. But I'm a novice.

Where do I find the file and what am I looking for?

Found the file. Here's the contents. I assume there's no sign of a hack here. Thanks again.

It looks like your site is back up and you figured out what happened.

Yeah. I guess it was a glitch with the Dreamhost network maintenance last night.

Thanks anyway.
