Hi,
There is a domain that is not my property, “digitalbellies.com”, performing a redirect on my domain “vrwebsolutions”. I saw through Whois pointing to my nameserver.

So if I go on “digitalbellies.com” I view the same content as “vrwebsolutions.com”

How do I block and avoid all this?

regards,

CarenZ.

Hey Caren,

Here is a tutorial that talks about how to create a redirect.

You could place a .htaccessfile in the main web directory which is usually /var/ww/html/ by default. You would place the following lines in that file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)? digitalbellies\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*)    - [F]

If you’re using Ubuntu, you’d want to also make sure that mod_rewrite is enabled by running a2enmod rewrite. If you did need to enable mod_rewrite, you would need to restart Apache for thta to take effect - service apache2 restart

Happy coding,
