Problem after domain change

One problem you have... p-rp.net doesn't resolve to an IP.
And when you go to your portalofgames.net it redirects to p-rp.net (which is not a resolved host).
Which means that your redirect is messed up.
Code:
Tracys-Mac-mini:~ tracy$ ping p-rp.net
ping: cannot resolve p-rp.net: Unknown hostWhich means that your redirect is messed up.

No, it has to do with the fact that you are redirecting all traffic to a domain that does not have an IP listed for a DNS entry.
You need to edit your DNS server to place the same IP in it for the p-rp.net that you have for the new domain.
Either that or edit your rewrite to point at the correct (new) domain.
The p-rp.net has been replaced by portalofgames.net. So we can't edit its DNS server anymore I think.
And how can I edit the rewrite? I'm don't really have knowledge in that kind of stuff.

Well, if r-ph.net can't get a DNS entry then you need to remove it totally from the .htaccess (if you are using apache) and replace it with your new domain name.
I don't know how you have your site set up. Can you post a copy of your current .htaccess?
In addition to changing the domain name, did you move to a totally different server? Do you still have access to edit the DNS of the old domain?

We've got hosting24 as our webhoster, they replaced p-rp.net with portalofgames.net . I guess I don't have acces to the p-rp.net DNS server anymore.

OK, no rewrites are present in the .htaccess so it's something on your hosting provider's setup that is doing it. Tell them that your new domain is resolving back to the old domain, which no longer has a DNS entry... and that it needs to resolve to the new domain. Looks like it is a shared hosting setup so fixing it is pretty much in their hands. It does not appear that this is going to be XF related as the URL setups in the ACP typically deal with your email's that get sent (normally).
Hosting24 created a test.php file ( www.portalofgames.net/test.php ). That one works without a redirect, which means there is a XF-code or file in the root which redirects.
Any clue what it could be besides .htaccess?
