I've been having some trouble with the "www.sixhourstartup.com"
domain, and I think I'm about ready to admit that I'm out of my
element here. For the last few weeks, "www.sixhourstartup.com" has
been redirecting to "jmartenstein.webfactional.com". This looks ugly
and it's breaking the Wordpress software. I've confirmed that the
domain itself is NOT being forwarded, but after that I'm out of ideas.

Is this a domain issue? A hosting issue? Any help would be appreciated.

So.... wordpress has this awesome feature, where it tries to protect
you from yourself and makes it's domain name "canonical", thus
redirecting to whatever it thinks the right domain for itself is.
Aviel and I struggled with this feature for a few hours and finally
gave up and just put the word press instance on a path instead of a
subdomain :P
