Hi all,
We are running WHM on our dedicated server with 4 websites. 1 main website that we have our content and news and 3 others are mostly used privately.
Our main website has a dedicated IP with content that we create ourselves, someone has pointed their own domain to our website IP, so when someone visits their domain, it shows our website, at the same time, when we search Google for our own content, his domain shows up before ours.
I was told this method is apparently being used by some people to "steal" Google ranking so they can rank their domain or whatever to a certain point and then they start putting their own content on their website.
From what i read, i understood that using Virtual Hosts in Apache and in WHM we can limit the access to our IP's to only the domains we specify, so any other domain thats not "trusted" will get a 404 page or whatever instead of displaying the content of our website, therefor, it won't allow them to steal any ranking or show up in Google search by searching for our content.
Can this be done? and if it can be done, can someone help out on how we can set this up?
Thank you in advance.
