Hi Karen - yes I know what you're asking and yes, it's quite unsusual - but here is how I discovered it was an iframe - I clicked the 'view source' button in FF and I saw - view this frame only - and it shows http://0000qfx.previewcoxhosting.com/ as the url - there is no dlsengineering website so to speak.

Further to that - I've not seen this before and don't understand why it's been done like this unless it's some part of automation on their side  when a site is setup but even that seems strange because putting this whole thing in an iframe may have been done manually.. this is my guess only.

I think they use the previewcoxhosting url with a wildcard setting in the dns records (like we do for our development urls), but in an akward way.. we have an xdweb.com domain for testing and development - and no matter what url you put in, the xdweb url will resolve, but if there is no setting in IIS, it resolves to a default website. But in this instance - on your site, it seems like there is a manual setting when you developed the website, but not carried through to point the url correctly.

I think you need to ask them to see that the http://0000qfx.previewcoxhosting.com/ url in IIS is replaced with yours rather than wrapping in an iframe - that is what I would be asking them.

It's as simple and as messy as that.. and definitely fixable. I wonder if they have setup two accounts for you or something inadvertently... who know..

Nina,

Thank you SO MUCH. I totally understand what you've written and I will hit up the hosting company tomorrow. I so much appreciate your discovery of this for me and I am relieved that it wasn't something that we did on install. It keeps me from looking bad and saves my client money if they can complain to the hosting company (who, of course, said it was our work).

:o) Karen
