[FULLAMHRD]

Hi guys,

Is there any way to minimise/stop whois.sc and webhosting.info from indexing all users on my servers?

I know somebody will ask... I dont want competitors looking at who are on my servers to steal customers etc.


Thanks

in whois.sc its paid service

webhosting.info i doubt they have.

not sure if its legal or not todo so but its publicly available information by looking up all www.*.com and www.*.net www.*.org and filtering your server IP to know which domains poiting to that IP and listing them.

might want a lawyer to review zone file access agreement and see if they are allowed todo and view it to public or not.

and yeah you can always fix that by having each customer on dedicated IP so they cant figure which is which

how to security ip server ? i don't want guest view all my customer's on server.

Yes I know they could all have a dedicated Ip, which wouldnt help too much as that would be costly!

What I thought is have a seperate nameserver for each box instead of clustering. That would at least minimise the amount of users they could screen.

Also have a dedicated ip for the hosting website.

This is public information, even on dedicated IP, if they want to check the domains inside each and everyone there is still a way. Rather than worry on this, better to work on how to keep the clients satisfied. A satisfied client will not leave your services easily.

en on dedicated IP, if they want to check the domains inside each and everyone there is still a way.

And how do they do that?

You can look up IP owners through the regional Ip authorities and/or using any multitude of tools available on line.
