If you are doing a domain re-direct make sure you put the final / on the end of the url. My re-direct was http://mustang.bladehost.net/jbvisions.co.uk Everything looked fine until I did a site update and it refused to propagate. If I typed the domain www.jbvisions.co.uk I kept getting the old site, despite the fact that I'd gone in and deleted pages, they kept appearing. If I typed in http://mustang.bladehost.net/jbvisions.co.uk then everything came up fine so I knew the new pages had loaded OK. It was only when I checked my forwarding and noticed I was missing the final / and added it, that everything started working. I'm assuming that either my host or my domain park was holding a cache of the old site. Maybe some server experts on here can explain.

Morning Gill

The answer is blinding simple my dear:

BladeHost will see this as your account, as this is the way their servers are set-up, however - a domain redirect will see it as a .uk file, which is why you need the / at the end to define that it is a directory rather than a file with the extension .uk

Got it in one - Normally on redirects like yours, if it can't find the correct URL, it will send the pages stored in the server cache

OK, so I'm no server genius...but there's your answer
