: My subdomains point to another website While testing some stuff on one of my subdomains I noticed it was pointing to another website. Unfortunately this is happening with all my subdomains.

While testing some stuff on one of my subdomains I noticed it was pointing to another website. Unfortunately this is happening with all my subdomains.

To give out an example, let's say I have the example.com domain and the mysubdomain.example.com.

If I go to mysubdomain.example.com it points to my page, as it should, but it displays another fav icon, belonging to another website.

If however I go to mysubdomain.example.com/index.html (or .php), it points to another website. And by points I mean the website displayed appears as if it belongs to that web address, not redirecting.

Any thoughts?

I found this while searching for an explanation but my case it's a little different: Unknown subdomains pointing to my domain name.

However, it seams weird to me. Also, will this affect my bandwidth or pose a security risk in any way? Is there anyway I can, if not disabling this entirely, at least make sure someone else doesn't end up to that other website instead of mine?

You will need to delete wildcard A record in your DNS.

If you're on a shared host and haven't setup a subdomain but have setup a wildcard in your DNS so it points to your IP and it belongs to a server with multiple websites, it will point to the first VirtualHost in the Apache configuration.
