Hi there @louisefinch,

There are a few things that I could suggest checking:

  • Make sure that your ServerName in your Apache Vhost matches your domain name

  • If you are using a CMS like WordPress, make sure that your Site and Home URLs are set to your domain name as well

  • Check your .htaccess file for any possible rewrite rules that could be causing the redirect

Let me know how it goes. Regards, Bobby
