mail.* subdomains all of a sudden indexed in Google
- SEO |
I already asked about this with my hosting support and on webmastertalk, no-one could really answer respective the answers were not helpful.
What happened is that "all-of-a-sudden" when I do site:MYSITE:COM in Google it shows my mail.*subdomains indexed with the Apache default webpage installed. Like mail.mysite.com "Gratulations, Apache is installed" etc.
I did one change on my host, this is I went from an old Apache version to Apache 2.4 and also switched to PHP 5.4 and mod_ruid2.
I do NOT use any mail server and never actively created the mail or ftp domains. DNS Zone settings are the same as they always were.
The question is where those subdomains are coming from and why they are INDEXED in Google.
A solution with robots.txt (as someone told me) does not work since I want a global solution and not upload a robots.txt or .htaccess to a zillion of sites on my server. Besides, there is no folder which can be blocked in robots.txt pertaining to those domains. (At least not that I know of).
Another one told me to "edit DNS settings", there is nothing to edit which has not been there for years already, it's the standard stuff where ftp/mail etc. entries exist but why should I all of a sudden edit those entries?
I need a server-wide solution or whatever setting this is to hide respective delete all those domains from Google's index.
