My server recently got blacklisted on D. D. N. S. B. L. - after fixing an issue with the reverse IP, my vps provider initiated steps to get the IP delisted.
The request was denied - reason given:
"SITE-NONE means there was no site about/abuse/contact information found.
Both, "sdbnetworks.net" and the "www.sdbnetworks.net" only show:
"Nothing to see here!"
And "zonkers.sdbnetworks.net" shows only a default cpanel page.
We do not accept emails from anonymous sites."
Not sure what they mean by no "site about /abuse/contact information found" - a whois look up on the domain returns contact information.
The domain in question is my "base" or "root" domain - required by the vps company when ordering it.
Other domains are hosted on the vps.
I fixed the message about "nothing to see here" - now displays a proper website that explains what the site is all about...
but I'm not sure how to fix zonkers.sdbnetworks.net - as it is an internal host name, it doesn't appear I can use cpanel to redirect zonkers.sdbnetworks.net to the same folder that sdbnetworks.net lives in...
So my questions are:
1. Am I the only one who uses a different domain name for a root vps? this is my first time using vps - no where have I read that I need to have a site on the root domain name - though that doesn't mean it doesn't exist some where...
2. What is the best way to get zonkers.sdbnetworks.net to reference the main site? I don't know of the blacklisters will accept sdbnetworks.net having a proper site now or not so I figure I better fix both issues.
3. as sdbnetworks.net was never intended to host an actual site, how does one publish that abuse/contact/etc info they referenced? I thought that is what the domain's whois info was for...
4. Has any one else run into this situation?
Thank you in advance for any guidance provided
