Hi there.

So i've recently founded a new news site but having a few problems with the domain.

The problem is when i type thesport.ca into the browser (Firefox) it comes up with page forbidden. However, if i type www.thesport.ca, everything is fine.

Could anyone help me out on this one,

Cheers :D

It would appear you have set up your .htaccess incorrectly.

www.thesport.ca redirects to http://thesport.ca/blog/

Why did you put your site in the folder blog?

If your blog is all that is going to be on the site then it should have been in the root of the doamin.

Any particular reason you are hosting this on a British server?

Whilst O/T, why did you choose a .ca domain for a uk focused site. It will likely not do you any favours in getting UK traffic.

Because we have a lot of Brits in Canada that want to keep up with their favourite team in Britian. ;)

What is the control panel? Who set the site up?
