How to hide site from Alexa and other snoopers?

    I want to 'hide' my site from Alexa and other tools that copy-artists may use to find my site and replicate it before it gets off the ground.

    Any boilerplate code for this?

    <html>
<head>
<title>...</title>
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
</head>
    Code (markup):
    That will tell robots not to index the content of a page, and/or not scan it for links to follow.

    But robots can ignore your <META> tag. Especially malware robots that scan the web for security vulnerabilities, and email address harvesters used by spammers will pay no attention to this tag.

    That is why you should test your site locally before you get it off the ground.

    Or you can use robots.txt.
    agreed. You should consider installing Apache, PHP and MySQL locally so that you can do everything on your computer before uploading it.
