URL doesn't change but the webpage does.

Recently I moved my website from AOL's FTP server, URL http://wvis.ws to Terradon.com's FTP server, URL http://www.wvinstituteforspirituality.org, I added a link -wvinstituteforspirituality.org- on the Home page at the AOL site to take visitors to the new site. The link works fine, but the URL doesn't change. It remains http://wvis.ws when in fact the site is http://www.wvinstituteforspirituality.org. (I tested this by making a small change to the target Home page) If the link at the AOL site is copy/pasted into the browser it works fine and the URL changes to that of the new site. When I preview the page in FrontPage2003 and click the link, it displays http://www.wvinstituteforspirituality.org/ in the browser as it should. It's only when I click the link at AOL's FTP server that the URL doesn't change even though the page does. What's going on?
 
http://wvis.ws is running a frame set with:

<frameset rows="50%,75" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame name="destframe" src="http://members.aol.com/wvisbob/wvis/index.html" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="auto"
frameborder="0">
<frame src="http://futuresite.register.com/us?wvis.ws" name="bottom" frameborder="0" scrolling="NO" marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0" noresize>
</frameset><noframes></noframes>

Hi Stefan, thanks for the reply! You'll have to excuse my rookiness, but I can't even find the code in http://wvis.ws that you reference below, and even if I could find it, I wouldn't know what I need to change or add to make my link's URL display in the browser. Weirdly, the entire line "We've moved to a new website at wvinstituteforspirituality.org" does not even show up in the code in my FrontPage 2003.

Hi Again

Today I learned about frames, and set "target="_parent for the hyperlink, which did the trick
