    Hi,

    If i visit www.dml.ie i get the correct website.

    If i search for dml.ie i get a result about Fifa 15 world coins. The link seems to point to www.dml.ie but when i click i get sent to a Fifa website.

    Is this a cached search result issue ?

    Thanks

    Both work properly for me. Have you changed hosting/domain names recently? It's possible your ISP hasn't updated both DNS records for your domain yet.

    thats interesting:

    This is Google's cache of http://www.dml.ie/. It is a snapshot of the page as it appeared on Aug 19, 2015 05:09:02 GMT.

    .. that link redirects to the world coins page if its clicked from the cached link. yet if you copy that same link and stick it in the browser it goes to the other site. All i can think of is contact whoever looks after your dns.

    I checked the DNS, looks fine for www and non-www. I also checked DNS propagation and no problems there either.

    It's possible Google cached the page before the dml site went live and the world coins site is the default site for the web server.
