A novice here. The support from mediaTemple and my current host have been quite unhelpful, so stackOverflow may be my hero.
My problem is that entering "www" before the domain and leaving it out direct to different servers.
The background on this is that I first registered the domain with mediaTemple and had a plan with their gridHosting, but after finding their service unsatisfactory, I cancelled my gridhosting plan and moved to another host. This problem occurs even after updating the nameservers. In short, the web server is hosted by proMinecraftHost, but the domain is registered under mediaTemple.
Support from both sides say it's due to dns and the nameservers needing 24-48 hours to update, but I'm fairly skeptical that it really is the cause.
Summarizing, www.mscraft.org directs to the correct server, but mscraft.org(mscraft.org) alone does not.
If anyone could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

It's possible you just have the old DNS info in your cache. Try clearing your browser's cache, and also flushing your DNS. On Windows you could do ipconfig /flushdns in a command prompt. Also you could try pinging both addresses (with and without www). You should see the same IP address for both, as I got 198.154.108.107 when I tried them. In other words, I think it's working properly - you are just going to the old location because your machine is remembering too much.

I resigstered a new domain visitsoonvalley.com but now I can see that there is a sub-domain support.visitsoonvalley.com which I didn't create and I can't find in the cpanel too. This page is showing ads and the first advertisement is of the company that I registered my domain with. Is it possible that they created this sub domain? Are they allowed to do this without notifying me?
UPDATE: I just checked going to help.visitsoonvalley.com and same result. Why are these sub domains existing?!
You cannot register subdomains. You cannot really create them. You can only use them.
Most likely there is a "wildcard DNS resolution" for your domain. That would be something your provider has done and it actually does make some sense, since most people want that. Why don't you simply ask them? They will probably remove it from your DNS settings if you ask them.
A "wildcard DNS resolution" means that all DNS resolution requests to hostnames within your domain are resolved to the same IP address, without any specific rule existing. So it is a kind of "fallback".
Why there are ads shown in your page is nothing we can say. Might be some default content your provider puts in as a placeholder until you create content. Or they simply created a DNS resolution as a palceholder until you name an IP address the domain should be resolved to. Again: why don't you ask your provider? You pay them for their service, so usually that means the have to give support...
Certainly that is not exactly a "nice" behavior if that really is not mentioned anywhere in their policy. But on the other hand it does no harm and is only temporary...

An 101 question about whireshark:
I first flushed my DNS and then started capturing my interface with wireshark.
Then I opened google chrome and searched for a webpage.
Finally, wireshark except the first query about the url makes some additional queries for related names/urls.
for example :
Searched for www.aueb.gr and dns makes an additional query for art.aub.gr.
Why is this happening?
Thank you in advance.
Try using console application for DNS resolution (for example nslookup) during wireshark capture, it should give you exactly what you want. Web browsers or other applications can try to resolve some additional DNS entries, which may be the cause of the issue you are seeing.
For example:
nslookup www.aueb.gr
As for the behavior of chrome, web browsers will try to fetch additional resources (like images, cascading style sheets, scripts) in order to be able to display the web page correctly. If it happens that the resource is hosted in some other domain (like art.aueb.gr), the web browser will have to first resolve that domain name - and that is why you see additional DNS queries.

when our website was infected,we always just change the root password and the mysql password,fix the code where have vulnerability。But I think it is not enough , does anyone have more advance on it? I just have no idea that whether he has the backdoor in our system or have other attack that I haven't know about。
The problem is, that after the system was once hacked, you cannot be 100% sure that the hacker did not leave you a backdoor, unless he left a log of what he did.
The best way would be complete reset the system. Re-install the OS and completely rebuild the server. However that might not always be an option.
I would advise you to
Rebuild the system
Check all code using sql in you app to use prepared statements
log the sql for some time and go through it, to see if the hacker tries again and make double sure you get the code he aims at
(original post spoke of injection - not infection)

Port 80 is forwarded to a server on my network which has links to the different projects I'm working on, how could I allow people to connect to the server running on my laptop when I'm using it? I would obviously not prefer to change my router settings frequently to port forward to my laptop. I want the user to access my domain and maybe have a set of links which will be described as static and another set which will have a description cautioning the user that said links will only work when I am online and they would somehow redirect to my laptop. (Lamp Server)
Well, if I understood correctly your question, you should configure your laptop as a reverse proxy for your main server.
As you said, you should have a set of links which will redirect to your laptop (via reverse proxy config), but of course these links will work only when your laptop is available.

I want to install MySQL server at work. The goal is to give Remote Access to different users. This part is OK. I have granted permission to others users and it worked.
My question is how and where can i install MySQL server so it is not depended on my work computer being on. At my Works network we have common Networks harddisk. If i install MySQL server there, is it gonna be running all the time? or do i need to contact IT in order to install MySQL on the server hosting Our main work database?
thanks for helping.
There are a lot of considerations to be made when installing new servers. If you are going to be running an SQL Server your I.T. Department should know about it. They are also going to be the best people to determine potential security concerns and where it would be most suitably hosted.
When you say you have "common Networks harddisk" I presume you mean a mapped network drive or SMB Shares. This is for data storage and you cannot install anything to there without direct access to the server they are running on.
It is also likely that your company is already running a dedicated SQL Server which you may be able to utilize.
Either way if you have an IT Department, They need to know and they are the only people who can answer this question.
