PSYANCE - Rising A***l - What?

I was just browsing to one of my domains and another, completely different, domain resolved to my record. I did a whois search and the DNS pointed to Psyance, a name I recognized from this forum.

So Psyance, I'm sure this isn't your fault, I'm just wondering if my domain, Se**4*ll is coming up on your side?

I have no clue how this could have happened. I deleted all of my temporary internet files, and then my site came up normally. But, I have never been to Psyance's site before.

Wires got crossed somewhere.

I'm just glad it wasn't a serious issue. I thought we might be in for another DNS situation. Whew!
 
To update this issue and provide some additional information.

This keeps happening, but only in a specific circumstance. I'm programming with the eBay API. eBay's API requires me to perfrom certain URL token user authentication that then returns me to my web application. Upon returning, it's returning me to the site hosted by Psyance but with my sites name in the URL.

Looking at the site hosted by Psyance, it definatly is not eBay related, so I can't really figure out how this is happening.

The only thing I can think of is that eBay's own dns cache is yet to be updated after we went to the new dns and then back to the old.

Anybody else have any ideas?

Note: I'm not sure if it matters, but I'm launching this application locally, then eBay is set to return to the remote site.
 
Firstly, let me explain you why this cannot be a DNS issue
What I am assuming is that when you open your site, you see pysance's site instead of yours under certain circumstances.

The DNS servers only resolve a domain into an IP. It is IIS's job to return a website. IIS works on host names. It will extract the host name from the host header and return the website. There is no way IIS would return his website with your host headers - impossible

If you could email me with the URLs and all details, I'll check it out anyway
 
Yash,

I didn't mean to come off as implying that this was a jodohost dns problem. I'm not sure if that's how it came out.

Anyways, I'll set up a test user for you and mail you all of the details so you can test it out.

I really appreciate your help, because most likely this is something I need to inform ebay of.

Give me about 20 minutes.

I just wanted to reassur eyou that there is no DNS issue

Nontheless, this is very serious because you did land up on someone's site. This may not be an issue with us but it must be understood...
 
I've figured out that the problem here is that my return url is https and there are no shared IP tags available for shared SSL. At least that's where my line of thought is going.
 
Sorry for the delayed response, but I haven't been browsing the forums much recently.

I must say that it is weird you get sent to my site. To you have any control of the info (ie. can you log in)?

I don't see any domains on my side that aren't mine.

Hey Psyance,

No I can't do anything. If I click on the logo, it brings me to your paypal page.

The issue is with https certificates. I was playing around testing some of the sites that I know of hosted by jodohost. If you add https to most any of them, you'll find that they end up grouped on whomever has a certificate on that server. For instance, any site I have on the same server as you, if I https to it, i'll land on your site.

Do you have your own cert for that site? I've never really experienced this sort of behavior with certs before, but I do not have much experience with them either.

Nope, I'm just using the shared SSL. And I'm not even implimenting it yet...
