has MN been taken over by another website? I keep getting 'Go Daddy' whenever I try and get on?

(I've also posted in geeky stuff).

Something strange is afoot.

If I try and acccess MN through my drop down history bar on my laptop it sends me to the Go Daddy website . It's like a giant pop up than doesn't have an exit option. Doesn't happen with any other websites.

Does anyone know what's going on?

Eh?! This sounds most odd. Can we ask what device you're using and which service provider? We'll take a look.

Ah! Problem solved! Thanks all! I nearly had to get the internet out of its box then and give it a kick. Cheers!

We've consulted the Ye Old Book of MN Lore (also known as asking Justine), and Mumsnet has always been a .com. We also own the domain mumsnet.co.uk, as you can see.

I've just had a look on IE (is that what you're all using?) and it appears Bing helpfully auto suggest Mumsnet.co.uk when you start typing mumsnet.co...

Does that sound like it could be the answer?

Aha! Have chatted to ShamTech and figured this out!

We do own mumsnet.co.uk, and until recently, if you went to that address you'd automatically be redirected to mumsnet.com, which explains why some of you had it in your history. However, we've recently switched servers, so the new redirect isn't up and running yet, which is why you're getting the GoDaddy site.

We'll have redirect up soon, so you'll be able to get to MN via the co.uk address and it won't make any difference.
