Someone has cloned my website

[staypositive]

i

Did you check to see if it was iframed? If not maybe, someone is using a CNAME / A RECORD pointing to your server. Check the DNS of the offending domain. Let me know as I can advice further if this is the case. PM me the URL and I will take a look.

interested to know what we can do in that case, mind sharing so to avoid this problem in future?

Yes i'll share the solution. At the moment i have partially fixed banning their ip via .htaccess. But the stay down for 2 minutes, after that they change ip and the problem return :S

PM sent OP with detailed analsys. Overview below: -

My conclusion is that someone is pointing their DNS to your web server. You can circumvent this with .htacess or Virtual hosts. The .htaccess method uses a redirect: -

.htaccess method: -

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.mydomain.com$
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) http://www.mydomain.com/$1 [QSA,R=301,L]

Virtual hosts method: -

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /www/example2
ServerName www.example.org
</VirtualHost>

This will immediately fix this.

With @thebigweb help I found the problem. The clone domain point to my server. The problem is that i don't know how to stop it. I have tryed to put the above code in .htaccess and httpd.conf, but don't work. I don't have much experience with apache and I'm in very difficult situation.
Do you have some tips?

I have bad news for you. They are using very simple script to show your domain to their visitors. It's quite simple and just for everyone reading this. As long as something is public, you can't block others from using it.

Any web page is some html with some css and both are public, so anyone can serve them to their visitors

There is a brilliant Sucuri ( The best Security Researchers I have ever seen) article about this. You should read it to understand what is happening exactly.

Many ways possible but most likely PHP or iframe. YOu need to secure your site

Did you lost rankings because of this?

There is nithing called duplicate penalty over sites. Duplicate is a problem when you have same content on the same website.

Someone can easily clone your website, build better links and takes your place. If he has better links he will kick you out

Other types of Niche best results is the same content fro different sites. Like movie name torrent, hundreds of pages with same content. Or one piece online. Same thing.. Etc

what if the same person is bhw user and he sends you a pm ?
Eventually if they are really determined they are still going to steal your content as long as your content is available for normal user.
So why waste time remember this is bhw social network sites are trying to stop people from using bots , people are still doing it

 

[Asna]

I know, but I don't want stop these people.I want that they don't clone my website.

 

[mickyfu]

I think you should just copy his site.
