How come http://ip/~username/ never works?

I'm presently changing servers and I'm waiting for the dns to propagate on one of my sites. I have a redirect script that I put in place on the old server until the dns has propagated. The link to my new server is

http://69.57.150.44/~west/gallery/

but the redirect automatically changes it to this:

http://plain.rackshack.net/~west/gallery/

And the result is an error page. If I put the correct address with the IP in the broswer window it still chnages.

Why does this happen?

I changed my server hostname from plain.rackshack.net to a domain that I had previous pointed to the new server. I also chnaged my /etc/hosts file to update the hostname as well. I still get this plain.rackshack.net that replaces my IP when I'm trying to access the website. It's driving me insane. What do I do?
