Does anybody know why my domain name is up to sale?

[whitbycottages]

One of my domain names is not showing on Google's search results, when I type the URL in nothing appears. I notice something to do with blocked, but I couldn't find the message again.

When I type in the actual URL in the search box it comes up  with the message that the domain is up for sale for $32 the year, but the strange thing is it is still registered to me and it's definitely not up for sale?

I find this very strange has anybody got any ideas whatbn could be happening?

I sent in what they call a trouble ticket to the domain parking service, so I'll see what their replies is

This is the doamin

Thank you everybody in town to help me, it just turned out
that the workplace website had been hacked. My web space provider cannot
facilitate the latest version of WordPress at the moment which means
unfortunately we haven't got the best security, but hopefully that will change
soon. I've uploaded the website again and all is well at the moment.

No worries Alan.

I figured the one in your Webmaster Tools ought to be the right one

The problem with that one is that it returns blank pages for every URL indexed in Google (if you use site:www.whitby.uk.net you can see a long list of indexed pages, but not a single one is working). Obviously there is a problem with the site which you need to fix as quickly as possible. The Database may be the best place to start looking for issues.

Hope that helps,

Sha

Sorry Sha I mistakenly put the - instead of .  what a silly mistake.

It's the word Whitby, a town in North Yorkshire with the domain .uk.net at the end.

www.whitby.uk.net for sure

Thank you alan

Hi activesuper

Please except my apologies it is www.whitby.uk.net

I mistakenly put the - instead of .

It's the word Whitby,  a town in North Yorkshire with the domain .uk.net at the end.

Silly me

Well http://www.whitby-.uk.net/ is not even indexed BUT http://www.whitby.uk.net/ is indexed and I can see the problem.

Do you own both these domains? and which one are you actually having problems with because in your first post you state it's http://www.whitby-.uk.net/

Hi Again Alan,

You have now given us 3 different domains:

www.**whitby-uk.**net

www.**whitby-.uk.**net/

www.**whitby.uk.**net/

A little hard to give you a definitive answer if we don't know which domain you are referring to

Hope that helps,

Sha

Hi ShaYes thank you I understand the update regarding WordPress now, I can see that's got nothing to do with a it but  there is something very strange here If I type it into the URL nothing appears, but if I do a Google search I get this messagewww.whitby-uk.net this domain name is available for only $32.5 per year? And it says I posted that message with my picture under itWhat's going on I don't understand it I still own the domain name it's not for sale

Hi Alan,

The URL from your Google Webmaster Tools is a different domain.

The domain that is for sale has a hyphen in it that is not included in the link from your WMT message... or do you own them both?

The WMT  message is a courtesy message that is being sent to all Wordpress users with out of date software versions. The risk of your site being hacked is significantly increased by having out of date cms versions. This is something that Google is concerned about because hacked sites may put users at risk of exposure to malicious code.

Hope that helps,

Sha

I've just found this message below in my Google analytics, I wonder if this has anything to do with it?

But I still can't see why it should be apparently of sale, or nothing is appearing in the search results?
