Hi,

I have a small issue. I keep asking some confidential queries here on Frihost support which I don't want the outside world to know about. All someone has to do is type www.cellyourcity.com in google search and get a whole history of my config, my account details etc. I feel such data being widely available will be a security hazard.

Is there an option where you can remove your "Webhosting Support" forum from being crawled by search engines as lot of info is member related and should be confidential.

We get a lot of visitors from search engines due to the support forum, so I wouldn't like to remove it for guests/crawling.

But an easy solution would be to remove the url from your posts (at least where you don't want it to be found) so the search engines won't be able to index it. And just refer to it as mywebsite.com or similar. And other people will/should also refer it in the same way, even if they know the real url of your website - at least I try to do it that way.

Why don't you PM the confidential queries? Wink

or at least your config part of the discussion?
you could say that you'll PM anyone the confidential details who thinks they can help.

I was kind of suggesting that he still post the question, just that when someone asked what his was config was he told them by PM instead of posting it. He could still then put the solution on the post and then others still could find the problem and solution (minus the config) Rolling Eyes
