My website is accessible in two ways: 1. by domain: www.mydomain.com 2. by IP: 123.32.434.453 I assume this is not ok because google doesn't like pages that can be accessed in multiple ways. For example having a version with and without www is not good and having multiple urls for the same page on your domain is also not good. I have two questions about this: - Do you share my opinion that it is not good if your website is accessible by both the domain and the IP? - How would you deal with this? I thought about two solutions: 1. 301 Redirecting each page of the "IP version" to the corresponding page of the version with domain, so 123.32.434.453/page.html would redirect to www.mydomain.com/page.html 2. Showing a blank page when trying to access the domain through the IP What are your thoughts on this?
I wouldn't worry about it personally, Google are more than clever enough to work this one out, and take the domain name and not the IP address into account. It does help if the www or not is 301'd, but the IP version doesn't matter. DD
any website which is on a dedicated IP will be accessible by domain url and IP. Infact site on a dedicated IP is considered good for SEO.
