Googlebot Shut Down My Website!

Sep 24, 2005

I recently found out that the Google robot spidered my site and used up 5.74 GB in bandwidth! The hits were 4498 and I even have it scheduled to return every 2 weeks.

Now my site is down for the rest of the month unless I up my bandwidth. This is the second time this has happened to me in the past year. What is going on?

Googlebot Hammering My Website!

Oct 2, 2006

Googlebot has been absolutely ripping through my bandwidth. This has been on going for many months now, but each month the damage has gotten worse and worse. I have posted about this problem here but with no luck:

http://www.webmastertrader.com/showthread.php?t=389

To demonstrate the problem, I have decided to show you all my server stats for one of my websites.

I have no choice but to ban googlebot from my site and follow this action with a letter to google!

2) Sep: http://www.webmastertrader.com/attac...1&d=1159816714
3) Oct: http://www.webmastertrader.com/attac...2&d=1159816723

We're only a day and a half into this month and Google's robots have already consumed over 1gig of bandwidth!

Will You Shut Down Your Customer's VPS Without Any Prior Notice

Oct 2, 2008

I really do not want to mention the name of the hosting. I have been with them since the beginning of 2007.

My VPS was shut down about 15 hours ago because there might be a problem with the recurring payment. Actually I was informed that the payment has been processed and approved successfully last week. And there is no any email telling me that there is problem with the recurring payment.

I have been asking their support to re-start my VPS first but they said this is the sales issue. It has to be handled by the sales. Just waiting....... waiting..... Very disappoint!

Will you shut down the VPS of your customers without any prior notice?

ModSecurity Log - Googlebot?

Oct 3, 2006

Upon reviewing my modsecurity log today, I found an interesting hit from google.

-------------------

Requesting IP: 66.249.65.67 is http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?...t=66.249.65.67

Date: 2006-10-03

Time: 07:10:16

Handler: mod_gzip_handler

Get: /page/index/1&show=25,07,2005?php%20echo%20$bmc_vars%5B'site_url'%5D;%20?%3E/profile.php?id=1

Mod_Security-Message: Access denied with code 406. Pattern match "echo " at THE_REQUEST

Mod_Security-Action: 406

------------

The rule that set off this 406 response was:

SecFilterSelective THE_REQUEST "echo "

What I find interesting is that I do not have any such URL structure on this website that google requested.

Googlebot IP Range

I'm running a web server with mod_evasive and want to know how can I prevent mod_evasive from blocking the googlebot crawler ip address.

Is there a script out there that can detect this crawler and make sure its ip doesnt get blocked by iptables or mod_evasive?

Googlebot Root Domain

Aug 2, 2008

I am just wondering whether my idea will work for the google search engine.

Basically, I have my official VPS root (home/admin/public_html/) and this is where my main website will be hosted. However, since my VPS will be used for additional website, I will direct additional domains to it.

My second site hosted on this VPS may have a document root of (home/admin/public_html/advertising/). And my domain will then be setup to have that as its document root.

However, when google searches for my second site (e.g. advertising.com) will it go 'below' the domain root? For example, will it also creep the files under /public_html/ for this domain, even though the domains root is /public_html/advertising/?

edit: Or do people host multiple sites differently? Is this an appropriate method?

Dreamhost Asking Clients To Block GoogleBot

Jun 3, 2007

Yes, it’s quite true. DreamHost representatives are asking their clients to block GoogleBot trough the .htaccess file, because their websites were “hammered by GoogleBot”.

Dreamhost representatives are also guiding their clients to make all their websites “unsearchable and uncrawlable by search engine robots”, because they cause “high memory usage and load on the server”.

PS: This is NOT a rumor. Multiple people are already complaining about Dreamhost asking clients to block search engine spiders. A post in QuickOnlineTips confirms this too.

Initial news bit via Zoso.

Stop Your Server From Blocking Googlebot

May 21, 2008

If your server is blocking googlebot from finding your robots.txt file, how do you configure your firewall to unblock it?

I've searched through Google and I've seen may people just say your firewall is blocking it, but none mention how to really stop it from doing that. Like does Google have an IP it uses, and if so, what is the IP you should whitelist for your server?

As I keep getting that message: Network unreachable: robots.txt unreachable
and I'm sure it's due to a firewall issue, just have no idea how to fix that.

How To Point Www.website.com To Website.com (or Vice Versa)

May 3, 2008

If I type google.com in my address bar, it forwards me to www.google.com. This is not happening for my website right now. I think its a good idea to do this, since then search engines will have only 1 main URL for the website to index.

My question is:

How do I implement this? I think this may involve mucking with CNAME settings...

FTP To Website

Apr 30, 2008

I use Ian Lloyd's book and that's where I found out about this forum. Looks like a great forum.

I downloaded Fliezilla FTP and I'm trying to transfers files from my computer onto an angelfire web site.

Filezilla asks for a server address and I put in the URL address that I registered with angelfire. It then asks me for an administration password, and I put in my password to the angelfire site. I keep getting: Error: Connection to server lost...

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? I would like to use Filezilla to upload my files (web pages) to the angelfire site.

Website Down And Nothing I Can Do

Oct 23, 2008

I have a website which is currently hosted with streamline.net on their shared msql 11 server.

We have had several issues with them over the last few weeks where someone is using most of the server and slowing everyone elses sites down so much so they crash.
This week and weekend are my busiest time of the year (I sell fancy dress) and my site it totally unuseable.

We have phoned them and they have done nothing except ask us for a log which we have provided for short periods of time.

The down time has now got so bad that I have had only 2 sales today. I estimate I am losing approx 400 per day at the moment due to this problem.

Is there anything that I can do urgently to prevent my business from being killed by someone else.

Website Hacked

Jul 27, 2007

So I'm interviewing with a company and when I typed in the URL to their website, I was met with a nasty surprise: a "hacked by so and so" message! However, after looking closer, I see that I had accidentally appended a period (".") to the end of the domain name, for example: http://www.example.com./

When I removed the period, the site appeared as normal. I don't know anything about the server other than it's IIS. Is there anything I can suggest to them when I go in to interview? I'd like to point this out to them; it may even help my chances at landing the job! (It's not related to networking, though.)

DNS - For Mail And Website

Jun 2, 2009

I want to have my email and website going to different servers:

At the moment i have it setup so that the nameserver records point to the ip of the website. That means that both site and mail go to the server where i host my site. I have then set up an mx record to point the mail to another server...

however can i make this split at the start?.. i.e. from the domain registar? can i set up an A record to point to the website and an MX record for the mail? instead of pointing them both to the website and then redirecting the mail to another server?

Website Has Been Hacked

Apr 30, 2009

Just this week, I believe one of my site has been hacked...or potentially my whole server! When accessing the website (a vBulletin forum), instead of going to the main page, we get a screen that looks like Window's "My Computer" and there is a scan running. Firefox has blocked the site for suspicion.

I am stumped. Where to begin? I have full SSH access to my server (after rebooting it). Thank you in advance.

Server: CentOS Linux 4.3

Stolen Website

Apr 6, 2009

I've discovered that a site of mine has being completely copied

The sites are in a different country

[url]
[url]

The original site, that is still currently under construction with a lot of copy, rewriting and pages still have

[url]

Now, I don't mind someone taking inspiration or borrowing ideas. I'll admit as a web designer I have 1000's of book marks of sites that I've liked and will look at for ideas and inspiration, but I don't just download and put up.

Now as the sites are in a separate country I don't know yet if it is worth all the hassle as our customer base are separate, but I presume that having identical content means that google ranking could be damaged?
