This sound very similar:

Evidently this guy's web site got hacked and modified in such a way that if you went to the URL directly, it worked fine. But if you went to the web site via a search engine, there were redirects set up his server to take them to the new destination.

That is a DNS redirect issue. You should not need the prefix. You can see that all the sub-directories are for ETO but also redirect to the casino.

The Domain is expired. That is why it redirects due to the expired DNS record.

If the domain has expired how can you type in www.etoarmour.com and get to the correct web site?

The site still exists wherever it is hosted. Just the domain registration is expired. When that happens there isn't a pointer saying go to XYZ host. The FQDN resolves the correct address. In time though after all the DNS srevers refresh their data you won't be able to get to ETO even with a FQDN (fully qualified domain name).

My hacker says he's on it. I just tried it with yahoo search and got the same deal. My sight registration and such is up to date. Don't worry, eto is not going out any time soon. TU's are in stock with Daryl so have at them. Panther TU's start their journey to US Monday, Moscow and then to Daryl.

Robert,
I was speaking with Daryl last weekend in Danville.
He mentioned that you were looking to resolve the spacing issue w/ the Panther front hull and the bevel gears.
What was the final result?

I have it down to microns to fit with no cutting of the lower hull front. There are production standard variants with the lower hulls of anywhere from a half to one millimeter front to back for the floor holes for the stand offs. I will address that in the instructions but all should be a 'go'. The first six units will leave for Daryl on Tuesday. The journey is long, they go first to Moscow, from there to NYC and then down to Daryl.

My web guru says the problem is apparently a google and yahoo problem. Yandex shows everything with no problems and all my technical details are up to date for websight and domain registration, good to late this fall. We'll continue to work on it.

Yup, I didn't think it was a domain issue.

Somehow the search engine results are tainted.

As far as I can see though...the address is http://www.etoarmour.com not etoarmor.com. http://www.etoarmour.com works fine.

http://whois.domaintools.com/etoarmor.com

and check whois.net

Both clearly show why there is a problem. The A file which is the searchable file that points you to the site is not current. Both domains are linked and armour is current but armor is not. I suspect armor is the primary on the host and amour is a sub domain on his hosting server.

As tankme pointed out, you are looking up the wrong address.

The correct address is http://www.etoarmour.com.

Look at the top of his site and read that name. I told you the "our" is a sub and thats why you can navigate to the site with that name.

Makes no difference to me. I'm just trying to help the guy ID why he would miss out on sales.

Yes, but it could also read, "Snarflebarglewargle" and that would make no difference as far as web addresses go.

I'm not that familiar with subdomains. How can you tell that www.etoarmour.com is a subdomain to www.etoarmor.com? I went to whois.net but did not see anything that would indicate that the two domains are related to one another.

The two used to be resolved to the same site. Now only one works, so that is one indicator. If we wanted to we could pay the fee and do an IP history and host history. That would also give the name of the person who actually owns the domain.

They also use etoarmor@yahoo as an email addy. for support. When the "our" site expires he won't know because (Registrant Email: @worldnic.com) unless that actually works as an email.

Bob sees an issue with the name resolution or he never would have responded about google and yahoo. So that's why I have been persistent about the domain name.

US buyers would most likely use the "merican" version and be bounced. I think that's how this got started.

Anyhow the business isn't mine and if Bob chooses not to capture those searches then that is his choice.



FWIW I had a similar issue with our host a few years ago. We have multiple domains and the original leases were spread out. Everything appeared current except for the primary which no-one used and was therefor over looked and not current.
Once renewed the issue was resolved.

Hi Troy,

I'm not arguing, I'm honestly trying to understand what you are saying.

The two used to be resolved to the same site.
How can you tell this?

They also use etoarmor@yahoo as an email addy. for support.
I saw this, but again it could be warblegarble@yahoo as an email address and this has no connection to the web address of his web site. Though it may perhaps indicate that at one time he was etoarmor.com

Bob sees an issue with the name resolution or he never would have responded about google and yahoo. So that's why I have been persistent about the domain name.

US buyers would most likely use the "merican" version and be bounced. I think that's how this got started.
How it got started was I typed in "ETO armour" into Google, and the first hit appears to be etoarmour.com. That's what google shows it as, and if you hover your mouse over the returned links, it will show as etoarmour.com.

But when you click on any of those links through Google, you don't go to etoarmour.com.

Also, now in the google search results it says, "This site may be hacked".

I know it resolved because I used it and this is quote from Bob Held who took orders for ETO "
Join DateFeb 2008Locationhillsdale, NJPosts3,120GalleryMy GalleryModelsMy ModelsRatingsMy Feedback

I plan on attending I will be in camping in PA already so to the rest of the NEAD guys please coordinate with your fellow members to go together. Scott & Wayne. Charlie etc.... plan now men. I will also be bringing some ETO custom tank parts to display and sell so if you have any requests for specific items to browse and possible buy, please ask now, and I will try to accommodate you. Please make this request here on a RCU PM and NOT thru ETOarmor.com. That is for final tank part sales, not ETO event displays by the me (thecommander) like it had ta the NEAD battleday in NJ or the last Danville event."

I got the other info from the registrar info for the site. I don't want to post his address and phone number along with everything else listed.

try this and you can see the type of data available. http://www.whois.com/whois/target.com

The "might be hacked" is google bot identifying a change to the pointer.

Could I be wrong? Sure, but with the info, probably not.


OH, and thanks for saying you are not arguing. I appreciate the clarity, but an argument takes two and I'm not arguing either. This is the internet and we certainly can't emote as we would in person.

Gentlemen, thank you for your detective work.
Etoarmor was the original name when I started around 2003. A few years later the sight got hacked big time and since my 'guru' at the time was long on payment and short on service I did the only thing I knew how and changed the name to etoarmour.

My current expert is local and knows his way around the systems. I will today again contact my server and domain registration people and see what can be done from that end. For the time being simply use the address posted by maillemaker

http://www.etoarmour.com.

Sight is fixed, sight got hacked. My guru is now working back to find there the intrusion came from. Hope he finds who.

My guru was a hacker in his younger days and he's pretty good. He's on the level now, he got busted back in the mid '90's and was given a choice because of his skill, five years counting trees in Siberia or five years in the army being paid for doing what he loved to do. He's been on the straight and narrow since he got his honorable discharge and he's actually the basis for one of the characters in my first novel. He's building a new sight for ETO and a sight for the novel.

Panther/Jagdpanther system has been delivered to Daryl in MD and are on the web sight. As new parts are needed for specific tanks the parts when possible are to be used on all the units, for instance the Panther/JP final drive supports will be used on all transmissions as the original batches are used. Panther/JP drive shafts will also be used on all systems, simply cut to needed lengths. Certain parts for Tiger 1 will become system wide as will the simple modification of one extra hole in the mainframe. Keeping the stock of parts to a minimum number keeps costs down.

New sight goes in to operation within two weeks. Links will be the same, you will simply get V2 when clicking on a link. I am going over the final tally of parts on the new sight and checking one last time to make sure all is correct. I will announce here when the new sight goes active.
