I was trying to run a manual cron job and forgot to add .php to the url but when I entered:
example.com/cron
The url redirects me to sedoparking.com/domparking.php?id=415788&u=http://www.example.com/system-bin/php5exe/cron
what gives? Hosting is via 1and1 and their 'support' is always lacking.
Every other 'bad' url that I have tried is correctly handled by Drupal. Why is this one url appear hijacked? And how do I know if others are too?

It seems that your hosting company has DNS problems of some sort.
Yeah that's what I am
Yeah that's what I am thinking too. Of course trying to get 1and1 to solve that is near impossible. I imagine I could solve it with a redirect in the htaccess file but that doesn't help me know how many other pages/urls are doing the same thing.
1and1 is redirecting all of site /cron to another site
why is this one 404 url redirecting to somewhere else? Its doing this on every Drupal powered site on 1and1.
updated - 1and1 finally came back with a more realistic answer. Its a direct copy paste (their lang skills are a little short):

Move away from 1and1
Seriously. I've heard nothing but bad reports about them, as well as having a particularly bad experience myself: they double-charged me one month, then terminated my account and switched off my server without notice when I had the audacity to complain.
DNS Hijacking and URL redirection is the same thing?
I wasn’t aware with this terminology DNS Hijacking, but I usually observe a redirection. I asked my friend who is a bit tech savvy, he guided me through this blog and i was thinking this is because of slow internet or something else 😦
is this the same thing?
