When I enter http://mauldin.scottcrosby.info

 the browser should show webpage:  
   https://www.scottcrosby.info/scottschoice.us/mauldin.html
 Instead it displays the old webpage that link used to point to:  
   https://politics.scottcrosby.info/mauldin.html

Why? How do I fix it? All browsers on other PCs, and IE and MS-Edge on this PC work correctly.
