The high school newspaper that I advise has a website that uses Wordpress. I can type the site's URL into any browser, and it will load properly. Clicking on links within the site will behave as it should. However, if I click on a Google search result or Facebook/Twitter post that links back to the site, I am redirected to a Russian site. The URL changes occasionally, but it's always .ru, and it's always a broken link or 403 error. Naturally, I do not want this to happen.

I have emailed my host's tech support, but they don't want to get involved, and I am not tech-savvy enough to know where to even look for a solution.

I keep Wordpress updated to the latest version, and all plugins are routinely updated.

Need help. The sooner, the better.

I'm not a website expert by any means so I could be way off here but it kinda sounds like your domain isn't pointed to your host correctly. Like maybe http://www.yoursite.com is pointed to the wordpress host but yoursite.com isn't. Do you have access to the domain registration? I assume it's through GoDaddy or somebody?
