Why Does a Website Load With www but Redirect to the Wrong Domain?

A www hostname can resolve correctly yet redirect to an old or unexpected domain due to application canonical settings, registrar forwarding, proxy rules, or cached permanent redirects.

What to check

Trace each redirect response and check DNS, registrar forwarding, web server virtual hosts, application base URL, proxy configuration, and cache headers. Test both HTTP and HTTPS in a clean session.

Recommended next step

Update the redirect at its source, then verify canonical and callback URLs and preserve unrelated DNS records. Avoid layering multiple redirect rules that obscure the final destination.
