Strange pages indexing

[nunecas69]

Hello everyone,
I recently noticed that my newest website has been indexing some strange pages in Google, like domain.tld/centos-dedicated-server, windows-hosting-plans, cheap-hosting-singapore and others related to this. The problem is that my website never had pages like those and all these links go to 404 pages.
Somehow these 404 pages also get custom made meta descriptions related to the hosting niche.
I'm pretty sure that it's not a security problem, but does anybody have any idea what's the point of this?
Btw, all these indexed links have already been manually removed on Webmaster Tools.

Then you can use this plugin to block unwanted urls from indexing https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-robots-txt/

Also use https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-404-redirect-to-homepage/ to redirect all 404 pages to homepage.

EDIT: If you want, you can PM me your website URL and I will have a look of it.

Seems like the domain was previously used for some web hosting site. As I mentioned in my PM, use the plugins to create a sitemap and redirect 404 to homepage for now.
