Found this interesting...

I was watching this domain for a family member (as she has a similar site), royalbaby.com. Anyway, the site was in the onhold state. Then, one day the domain was renewed, never reaching the deleted or pending delete stage. Not strange, however here is what was strange:

The page now points to another site: hotmobilemail.com
Both sites are hosted at herwebhost.com. However, the owner of royalbaby.com is located in Florida, herwebhost.com is located in Washington and hotmobilemail.com's owner is located in iceland. Viewing the source, its not an affiliate link (no reason to be, and is kind of a waste of the redirected traffic).

Anyway, interesting little mystery, anyone else think it was hijacked? Not sure how they could have pulled it off though since it would involve access to the registry to renew the domain as well as hacking the password at the site to redirect the domain.

Or, maybe it's just a weird coincidence :)

Most likely a coincidence, royalbaby.com is nice but not the type of domain to be hijacked. The original owner's input is really needed for more information on this matter.
