Someone pointed his domains to my site

    Dear DP fellows,

    I have a dedicated server on Godaddy. Someone pointed his 2 domains to my server. So there are 3 sites having the same content.

    Do I have any technical methods to prevent this?

    I added this to my .htaccess file,
    Redirect www.hisdomain.com www.mydomain.com

    But it doesn't work.

    Thanks,
    Bryan

    It seems odd that your DNS would respond to his domain names if you haven't configured them.

    Are you sure your content isn't being wrapped in an invisible IFrame? (View the page source to check). If it is, you could use some javascript to break out of the frame, or you could block the domain as a referrer in .htaccess / PHP.

    Thanks a lot for the info.
    Sure, it's not wrapped in iframe.

    scriptman, you are right. Maybe I have something wrong in my configration of the server.

    I ping mysite.com, then I get the ip.

    Just type in the ip in address bar of browser, it displayed the content of my website.

    I emailed Godaddy, they let me to ask the guy not to point his domains to my server...

    Thanks,
    Bryan

    Could it have been a redirect ?
