How would I go about this? Is there any way I could make it so that no search engines can find my site?
I want to make my site not appear in any search engines

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: *

If your host supports individual custom .htaccess you can make it so it can only be accessed with user and pass (there would be a prompt), search engines would have nothing to index, only the 401 error page.

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.
I am here to rescue you.

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" And in the .htpasswd, you'd have it in this format Code: username:password Username is case sensitive as well. |
