This is my temporary fix to stop google from indexing my sites by ip per site:
Please if someone knows a better way please post and I will move your post into the thread starting post and give you your credit for being smarter than me.

• Start by logging in to your servers cpanel

• Click on the ip deny manager

• Then enter the value in the image below

......and your done.


a very simple thing you can do to ensure your security. Tho it is a simple fix..I was not aware for almost 8 months of having a server that anything in my htdocs folder was under a watchful eye as long as bots and crawlers we're allowed access. I only found out because i was being exploited and had to figure a way to stop a whole range as I was having problems in vBulletin doing so. This was my solution...stop the traffic at the first stop....server access.

you can use a robot.txt :|.

yep robot.txt is easier :)
nice thinking!
