    How do I stop another site from mirroring my site? It looks exactly the same, has the same file structure and any content that I add is immediately added on their site. It appears to be a mirror, not that they stole any files. Can I stop that some how on my end?

    Hello,

    I would suggest you to change the ftp password as soon as possible . Also you can tighten the permissions of the website files to read only . Also contact your developer and disable right click option on website.

    Hi,

    Please send an abuse ticket to the hosting provider of the mirrored site claiming copyright. You can find the info about this from http://who.is/. Hope this helps.

    Just verify the request hostname in every of your scripts and if it is that unwanted domain, give a 403 header.

    You can use a 301 htaccess redirect.
    For example:

    If its pointing to your ip then good for u as your site is getting the traffic only the users sees his domain other than that he has no profit in it
