Tee responded, I believe. Only muglo.org is registered.

http://www.muglo.org actually leads to an automagically generated page.
Apache (I suspect) is taking the information provided by the browser's
request (saying that it's looking for http://www.muglo.org) and generating
the page because one isn't being found at the directory that Apache is
looking in.

What I think is happening is that the DNS server is doing its job and
sending www.muglo.org to the machine at which it thinks www.muglo.org is
being hosted. The machine in turn is taking the information and
auto-generating that page because there is no page where it looks!
A band-aid solution is for you to edit the DNS entry and use a WebForward
(or some such similar named feature), and forward the www.muglo.org entry to
www.freewebs.com/muglo.
However, THIS WILL NOT FIX THE GOOGLE SEARCH PROBLEM. (pardon the "yelling"
;-). I'm off to the gym right now but I'll respond some time this evening
with further thoughts.
I might be able to describe the problem to the www.freewebs.com people (or
discover where they're directing the web server to look for the index.htm
file).

:-(
We'll see if that can be fixed :-)
