If you're sure that the website name is correctly typed, then three possibilities remain for it appearing as a different site altogether.
- It's been hacked and had its contents replaced with the text you see now
- The website's DNS account was hacked and is now redirecting you to another IP address
- You are witnessing a DNS poisoning attack. To avoid this circumstance, use anonymity networks or VPNs
You may also want to try searching through various online cache repositories that take a historical snapshot of various sites, including Cached View and the Internet Archive's Wayback machine.
