Strictly speaking, this is a problem with HTML and is nothing to do with apache. However, you seem a nice guy (helping out your Ma and all :-) and seem willing to learn so here's my tuppence-worth: This is to do with the weird way your site is hosted by your ISP. I tried directly requesting http://www.finca-auroum.co.uk/ using telnet and I get a page which consists of a single frame into which is loaded the contents of http://82.34.24.160/. This second URL is your actual page about the house for rent. However, the browser has loaded the "outer" page (containing the framset) so the browser displays the title from the that outer page and that title is set to the domain-name. Here is a transcript of the session: (this is me requesting your site): GET http://www.finca-auroum.co.uk/ HTTP/1.0 This is the server's response header: HTTP/1.0 200 OK Date: Thu, 03 Nov 2005 07:57:51 GMT Content-Type: text/html Server: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) PHP/4.1.2 Vary: Host X-Powered-By: PHP/4.1.2 X-Cache: MISS from plotinus.easily.co.uk This is the page that the response contains. Note that the title tag contains the domain name of the site, not the text description that you want... <html> <head> <!-- url = http://82.34.24.160/ --> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><title>finca-auroum.co.uk</title></head> <frameset rows="100%,*" border="0" framespacing="0" frameborder="0"> <frame src="http://82.34.24.160/";> </frameset> <noframes> <body> The website for finca-auroum.co.uk can be found by clicking <a href="http://82.34.24.160/";>here</a>. finca-auroum.co.uk is registered through <a href="http://easily.co.uk";>Easily.co.uk - get web site hosting or domain name registration here</a><br></body> </noframes> </html> So the problem seems to lie with the way the ISP is hosting pages (putting them in a framset). I think you need to take it up with them...
