I just posted a message regarding problems with not being able to get FTP working on a brand new free hosting account I just started (to test what the services of x10hosting may be like).

From the above, looks like some sort of general problem at the moment. Doesn't bode well, looks like I'm best just to not waste any further time with x10hosting and get a paid hosting account with a reputable company.

Sigh.

Looks like a general problem. I have the same issue on my web site.

Currently experiencing the same issue.
They probably got a server side DNS redirect involved. Interestingly it only occurs on a desktop platform atm, while mobile still directs properly.
I've submitted a trouble ticket with the relevant details and IP address redirect involved (208.91.196.46) in order for them to isolate the issue quicker.

We're basically getting a 302 response code (code for redirect) with the following cookie:
gvc=920vr1794883199524991

This is redirecting our site by forcing any traffic through .pcriot to http://www.seektoexplore.com/?dn=pcriot.com&pid=7PO3424GE because the server is pushing a header for the redirect.

Should be an easy fix on their end.

Did a whois check for "pcriot.com" and it seems like the nameservers have been changed to those controlled by tldparked.com

Doesn't seem to be a problem with any of the other x10 supplied domains.

Here is the exact META tags they're adding:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://ww2.pcriot.com/?folio=9PO5S5HDG" />
<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="-1">
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var redirect_url = 'http://ww2.pcriot.com/?folio=9PO5S5HDG';

try {
if(window.top != self) {
window.top.location = redirect_url;
} else {
window.location = redirect_url;
}
} catch(Exception) {
document.write('<a href="' + redirect_url + '">This page has moved.</a>');
}
</script>
<noscript><a href="http://ww2.pcriot.com/?folio=9PO5S5HDG">This page has moved</a></noscript>
</body>

After further tweaking, disabling JS as well as META redirects, I'm served with the above code alone. Totally just a server virus that's loading the above code for every .pcriot person.

Nothing we can do for immediate fixes. Up to the pcriot devs to fix this one. Hopefully I saved them time with the above information.

Server virus? Not on x10hosting.

Your request for ww2.pcriot.com isn't coming close to x10hosting's servers.

that's great that you can see it :) but, that doesn't help me. I've tried looking at my website with 3 different computers and my XBOX One and they all redirect to the seektoexplore site.
