Looks like something wrong with either the configuration of your forum software or DNS settings.

I'm willing to bet that the forum config was set incorrectly (check the domain, host domain, or whatever name SMF uses for such a setting in the control panel, and make sure it is set to www.autolounge.com.jm and that the only possible reference to "fatcow.com" in the SMF config is for the MySQL database host, which is probably "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" anyway).

Also, I would honestly look into switching hosting providers, as this one is undoubtedly unreliable. I'd recommend taking a look around webhostingtalk.com to find a host which doesn't offer "Unlimited Hosting", as to my knowledge, there is no such thing as a hard drive with unlimited space, or a data pipe which is capable of handling unlimited traffic (complete false advertising on their part).

Also, I'd say try to avoid registering your domain with the host (if I'm not mistaken, you did this. Definitely not life or death situation, but its less of a headache if you avoid it), as you will have difficulty transferring it if that need ever arises.

Good luck :toast:

Could it be as simple as this? http://www.autolounge.com.jm/ just redirects to http://autoloungejm.fatcow.com/forums/index.php. If you want http://www.autolounge.com.jm/ in the addressbar after you have made a navigation click then simpleportal needs to changed so that all references are to http://www.autolounge.com.jm/index.php rather than just /index.php.

(I think)

Am I right or wrong on that one? YES and NO

[I.R.A]_FBi · Feb 10, 2009

the simpleportal .... hmmmm

edit: there is nowhere in there to change it

I've opened your page in Internet Explorer 7.0 and I'm not experiencing your problem! Your hosting company can not be seen
