Stop redirecting one domain to another
Hello all, I have a strange situation with two domains that I own. This has been going on for a while now and I have tried various suggestions but was never able to track down the solution. I own 2 domains, fisherfisheries.com (my consulting co.) and orerockon.com (a separate business of mine). I used to have fisherfisheries "forwarded" to orerockon by my hosting provider. My provider skipped town after stealing a lot of money from their customers and I had to change to another one. I successfully transferred orerockon to them but never got control of fisherfisheries. The registrar (was Netsol then for some reason changed to Enom) let me "have my domain (orerockon) back", charged me $250 to transfer to a new hosting service (Hostwinds). After many rounds of discussion they claim that since fisherfisheries was registered as a "business" I had to provide a bunch of proof that I owned the business, after trying to get it to them they kept coming up with excuses why they wouldn't let me have it back. Several rounds of complaints to Icann got me nowhere. I have given up for the meantime, people with similar problems ended up paying a lawyer $$$ to threaten them. I registered a new domain for the business which works fine.
Anyway Google and other search engines give results for fisherfisheries when searching for some terms that would normally lead to orerockon. If you search for "fisherfisheries" and click ont he result you are taken to a version of my orerockon website that is from 2009. This is causing me endless headaches because I have 9 year old Paypal cart buttons that are still active, and people can purchase merchandise that I haven't sold since 2009. So without paying $$$ to get fisherfisheries back and transferred to my hosting provider, is there a way to get the search engines to stop directing to a 9 year old version of orerockon? I don't eve know where the physical location of the old orerockon exists, I suppose it could be from a remote backup that my dead ISP used at one time. If it helps fisherfisheries was my business email for 15 years and when my hosting service died I lost email access and all emails started bouncing. Or, at the very least stop search engines from redirecting to orerockon! Thanks in advance for any suggestions how to fix this mess! |
