Hi Daniel,

if your website redirects even without the DNS records in place, then most probably it’s hacked. Usually, a website is hacked two ways, the files are infected or the database has been compromised.

Having said that, usually when someone finds an exploit in your website, it doesn’t make your website redirect. So what I’ll suggest is changing the password wherever you can, your website’s database, your gmail, your droplet’s password and see if this actually reappears.

If it does, then it would mean the websites has been compromised and you should look for a web developer/sys admin to secure your website and clean it from any malware.
