I typed in RackShack.com. The problem is, I can no longer get to RackShack.net. Whenever I put that in any browser, it goes to 127.0.1.1, which doesn't exist on my machine, but a development website that I have at 127.0.0.1 does come up. It's not in my hosts file, and clearing cache and changing to one of the other 3 browsers doesn't help. I do have Apache running locally be there is nothing in the conf either other than the primary address of 127.0.0.1. I've never seen anything like this before. If I go to a computer that hasn't been to rackshack.com, I get a login screen for rackshack.net. I run Trend-Micro AV + spyware and webroot spysweeper. The browser that it initially occurred in was FireFox.

Wierd stuff! Any clues?
 
I believe that rackshack changed their name to EV1Servers
I talked with them about it. They are phasing out the Rackshack name but they were very interested in what was happening. They witnessed it first hand. Also their server was ripped, which they did not realize so it couldn't have been for very long.
