Does this (screencap) look familiar?
I wonder why they went to all that trouble?
It’s my web host’s unorthodox method of backing up the site while moving servers and waiting for the DNS to resolve.

Argh! What the hell? Its confusing enough having a mirror of your exact site, but when my browser doesnt tel me which address I’m at (bug in Firefox nightly build) makes it even worse!
Ah, that makes sense. A bit strange though… :S
Strange is the word to use. I just wish my host had informed me before taking this unusual step.
Did you actually have to ask them before you found out?
I wasn’t the only one who was left in the dark. My host’s support section wasn’t aware of the mirror site either; when I notified them about it, they suggested activating hotlink protection.
