Hi i have found a website on my dedicated server that is not mine by using a number of tools including
http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/web-sites-on-web-server/
the site that i found that was not mine is buycostumes.com
i contacted my hosting company and told them and this is the reply i got back
We have checked the issue and it appears there have a bug/glitch in this site, because after we checked the mentioned domain we found that this website respond on IP which is not our and is not assisgned in your Dedicated server as you may preview below:
Found 3 domains hosted on the same web server as buycostumes.com (66.45.3.44).
buycostumes.com (linkback)
target.com (linkback)
www.certifigroup.com (linkback)
Thus if you find any issues on your web server, please mention them in this ticket and we will be glad to provide you with further assistance on this matter.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any further technical difficulties.
Best regards,
Now they have not said if they are going to do anything about this and to be honest i am getting fed up with the hosting company because i am being told that the slow speed i was receiving for my website www.in2town.co.uk was down to it taking a long time to reach my server before reaching my site.
Now not sure if this is correct or not but with all the help i have received off semoz i have managed to increase the speed to my site but now i have found this problem.
Can anyone tell me if i am being played and also can anyone recommend a professional UK hosting company.
Also is this site affecting my spped and my site performance.
-
the hosting company is in the US, it is important for me to make the site load fast, the last thing i want to do is for the readers to get fed up of slowly loaded pages.
I have to get the site up to scratch so i can start making money from it which it is not doing at the moment.
google analaystics, says under site speed 0.00 so i am a bit confused by this

I think you're ok then, as far as other sites hosted on your server.
Do you know where you server is physically hosted? UK? US?
From a user perception point of view, your in2town.co.uk site seems ok to me speed wise. (not a scientific test!)
Out of interest what does Google Analytics and/or Google Webmaster Tools say about site speed?
In Google Analytics you can find this under: Content / Site Speed.
In Webmaster tools it's under: Labs / Site Performance.
There's lots of things that can affect the speed of you site including the performance of the server, the end-to-end network connection, the content, number and size of images on the page and any javascript etc. (social buttons can be a prime culprit for this!)
Someone on a mobile device with a poor signal is going to have a dramatically different performance to someone on a high-speed broadband connection.
As there are a things outside of your control that affect site speed, I don't think search engines can use it as an absolute measurement.
From a user experience point of view, you want to make sure the pages aren't loading so slowly people are giving up!

yes all of those are mine

If buycostumes.com was hosted on your server, it isn't' now and of course, none of the sites hosted on the server that buycostimes.com is on will be on the same server as yours.
It looks like the following domains are hosted on server 96.127.151.50:
- cardiffhypnotherapy.com
- clairehegarty.co.uk
- weightlosshypnotherapysuccess.com
- headlineplus,com
- in2town.co.uk
- womenlifestylemagazine.com
- cheapflightsgatwick.com
- trancebandgastricband.co.uk
All these resolve to 96.127.151.50.
Are all these yours?
If any of these aren't yours, then ask your hosting company to check.

Hi can you explain more about the 26ms etc as i am not really familiar with this. are you saying that the server is slow and that my site is slow because the server is.
this is the tool i have been using to find out the speed of my site
http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/pgZ9jKqDR/http://in2town.co.uk/
on average it is saying about 4 seconds but i am not sure if this is really correct or not.
would like to know more about the server speed you are talking about. my hosting company is tmd hosting.
here is the reply i have just got from them
What my colleague is referring to is that there is a glitch in the website that you are seeing that the following domain:
is located on your server. We can confirm that this is not a true statement and this website (as well as the others) are not located on your dedicated server. You do not have to worry about any of that content being uploaded from someone else.
Please feel free to contact us regarding any further questions or comments.
Please note that we have traced the domain names in question and we receive the following information:
buycostumes.com. 86400 IN A 66.45.3.44
buycostumes.com. 90000 IN NS ns3.inflow.net.
buycostumes.com. 90000 IN NS ns4.inflow.net.
buycostumes.com. 90000 IN NS ns5.inflow.net.
buycostumes.com. 90000 IN NS ns6.inflow.net.
buycostumes.com. 90000 IN NS ns1.inflow.net.
buycostumes.com. 90000 IN NS ns2.inflow.net.target.com. 1800 IN A 161.225.130.163
target.com. 3600 IN NS ns4.target.com.
target.com. 3600 IN NS ns1-auth.sprintlink.net.
target.com. 3600 IN NS ns2-auth.sprintlink.net.
target.com. 3600 IN NS ns3-auth.sprintlink.net.
target.com. 3600 IN NS ns3.target.com.www.certifigroup.com. 3600 IN A 66.96.131.78
This means that those websites are not even pointed to your dedicated server. This means that there is an issue with the website that you are using:
as the information displayed in there, is not accurate. Please note that this website is not affiliated with our company and we cannot provide assistance for 3rd party websites and tools. In order to get the issue resolved, you should contact their development team and ask them for more information on this matter.
Thank you for your patience and understanding in advance.
Please feel free to contact us regarding any further questions or comments.

While it does look like buycostumes.com is now resolving to a different IP address, (66.45.3.44). It looks like some of the others you detected are sharing the same IP address as your own:
www.in2town.co.uk (96.127.151.50).
NSLOOKUP www.chesterhypnotherapy.com
NSLOOKUP www.cheapflightsgatwick.co.uk
NSLOOKUP www.clairehegarty.co.uk
All resolve to the same IP address (96.127.151.50)
It seems that buycostumes.com is on a different server, but the others aren't. I take it you're only hosting the one site on this dedicated server?
I can't say how these other sites might be affecting the performance of your site, but if you're paying for dedicated hosting then it doesn't appear that you're getting it.
Who's hosting this server and where are they hosting it? It seems slow from here (uk), and more network hops that I'd expect (16).
I'm getting 115ms when pinging your site. For a domain on my (shared) hosting I'm getting approx 20ms and for reference www.google.com gives me 26ms.
I've used 34sp.com for my hosting for a long time - their service/support has been fantastic. I've not used them for dedicated hosting so can't specifically recommend them for this. I don't know how competitive their prices are for dedicated hosting, but note that their starting price is for an unmanaged service. (They do offer a full server/management package though.)
Hope this helps.

Measuring the size of a competitors website?
I think our website is too big, far too many indexed pages. I'd like to do some research on how big our competitors' websites are (how many indexed pages). Is there a way to do this? Cheers, Rhys

Mobile sitemap needed for responsive website?
I've seen some older 2012 posts that discuss, but nothing recent given the new changes to emphasize mobile. For website that are already tested and verified as mobile responsive, is best practice to develop a mobile-specific sitemap and submit that as well? Or will any mobile crawlers spider the regular sitemap?

Website content has been scraped - recommended action
So whilst searching for link opportunities, I found a website that has scraped content from one of our websites. The website looks pretty low quality and doesn't link back. What would be the recommended course of action? Email them and ask for a link back. I've got a feeling this might not be the best idea. The website does not have much authority (yet) and a link might look a bit dodgy considering the duplicate content Ask them to remove the content. It is duplicate content and could hurt our website. Do nothing. I don't think our website will get penalised for it since it was here first and is in the better quality website. Possibly report them to google for scraping? What do you guys think?

Building a new website post penalty and redirects
A website I'm working on is clearly algorithmically penalised. I've spent a lot of time mass disavowing spammy links, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. We have been planning to build a new website anyway since we are rebranding. 1. Is it possible to tell which pages are most likely to have a penalty applied? 2. If the website as a whole has a penalty, will redirecting certain pages to the new website carry the penalty? 3. Our website is structured as sales pages and blog content. It is the sales pages that have the spammy links, yet most of the blog content does not rank either. Would it be a good strategy to only redirect all the blog posts (which have natural links pointing to them) to the new website and not the sales pages? 4. The homepage has a mix of spam and very good editorial links. If I have disavowed links and domains, can I safely redirect this page?

Can the Hosting location of image files have a negative effect if on the developers own media server rather than on client site server ?
Hi Can the Hosting location of image files have a negative effect if on the developers own media server as opposed to on the actual websites server ? In the case i'm looking at the image files are hosted on a totally separate server (a media subdomain of the developers site server) from the subject sites dedicated server. Will engines still attribute the properties of files hosted in this manner to the main website (such as file name or should they really be on the subject sites server own media folder ? Cheers Dan

Website disappeared from Google organic keyword searches.
We have an auto repair company as a client www.autorepairauroratilden.com who for the better part of a year their website had ruled the 1st page organic Google search results. Their website, Blogs, Facebook, and Twitter all came up on page one for their keyword searches. On May 13th, it all came to a screeching halt. The website is nowhere to be found for any of their keywords (example: brake repair Aurora.) There are a couple of blogs on page 2 but it’s nothing like it was prior to May 13th. On May 12th we published 5 branded websites for this client – Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Jeep, and Toyota, all on separate URL’s. All the page titles, keywords, and descriptions were specifically branded to the individual websites as were all the keywords. Since the beginning of June we’ve taken down the 5 branded websites and we’ve gone through our keywords on the auto repair website. The website was last crawled on June 11th. We still do not have any page 1 placement or for that matter any page placement. I checked 10 pages out. We have a 2nd auto repair client that has been running their website as well as their 5 branded websites a couple of months longer than this client and we’ve had no problems with any of their websites and keyword search results. How do we fix this?

Server crashed - What should I do regarding Google SERP´s?
We have several travel websites in Uruguay since 2003. These sites have a very high PR and Trust. The server where all our sites are hosted has crashed and we have been for 2 days now trying to fix all this mess. We hope this problem will be fixed today. Please I really need to know what should I do regarding Google. I mean one of our sites has been ranking in top 1 positions for more than 150 keywords. Will we loose all that? What can we do about it? It´s the first time this has happened to our sites.
