How would I go about this? Is there any way I could make it so that no search engines can find my site?
Yes. Make a file called "robots.txt" and put it in your domain's top-level directory, so its accessible at yourdomain.com/robots.txt, then add this:
Code:
User-Agent: *
Disallow: /

Illegal content... or?

1) Illegal content
2) Torrenting
3) Private closed community forum
4) I dont want people to be able to search for me at all, I want it to be completely hidden so that the only way possible to find it is if your invited
I was gonna do something far more hardcore, I was just gonna do a full range ip block, and add exceptions to the list as I went. 8)
Probably htaccess password would work best. Members would feel exclusive and it would protect your site very well.
ooo I like the look of this 8D. Does this stop them from even being able to contact the server though? Thats more along the lines of what Im aiming for, I dont even want them to be able to open a connection to it unless I want them to.

It will be similar to a 403, but it will give them the opportunity to authenticate their self, if wrong, they will get a 401 error, the same as 403 access denied, but meaning the reason why is because authentication is needed.
I use it on my WAMP server, that I use for small projects and sending files usually.
You'd have it like this in your htaccess
Code:
AuthUserFile "C:\WebServer\.htpasswd"
AuthName "name of choice"
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user
And in the .htpasswd, you'd have it in this format
Code:
username:password
username1:password
Username is case sensitive as well.
