When my website was built the person doing so built it using their URL. Now everytime I type in my website's address their website URL appears but then redirects to my website. How do I solve this?

Answer 1

Make another website.

There are two possible things happening:

1) If you type your complete URL into the URL bar, but it shows someone elses site, you have a problem with a redirect. Check both the DNS settings for your website, and check .htaccess for redirects.

2) If you search for your domain name, but their site appears first in search results, then Google has indexed the test site. They have done the correct thing in getting it to redirect automatically, so you need to tell google the new site exists. Create a webmaster account, and get some external links pointing to your site so Google can find it.

There is a third option. Your browser is remembering your history and taking you to the site it thinks you want - the old one. Double check the URL before you hit enter.
