Yeah the one problem with my webhost for that website is that they have notoriously horrible customer service. I actually figured out what the issue was after toiling with it for a bit. They hacked my FTP connection and used it replace my .htaccess file with their own, which had [rewrite cond] = (then they listed all the search engines so only search traffic would trigger it), and then had that redirect to that website.

I have no idea how htaccess works but the code was easy enough to figure out, now I need to figure out how to prevent this in the future.

Edit: Used a bit of my own hacking skills and got this guy's name, address, and phone number, I'll be reporting him to the authorities.
