companyguy Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 Hey all, Am curious if anyone here is hosting their website on their own box at home. And if so, does it affect whether the search engines (Google) will spider your site or not. Do the search engines favor it if you host your site at a commercial ISP? And are you being penalized by hosting your own, i.e. the search engines will ignore your IP addy. The reason I ask is, I have submitted and submitted my site, but it never gets into the Search Engines. :shock: I am currently running on: Windows 2003 Enterprise Server, IIS 6.0, MS 2.1 Thanks in advance.

toolcrazy Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 I don't think it matters. Are you using your own IP or are you using a forwarding service? If you are using a forwarding service, google and a lot of search engines don't like forwarding services. Steve ------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstefa Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 on the other hand, lots of big players are blacklisting residential IP's among themself, due to different congestion issues. IE. AOL will not receive any email sent from Rogers cable internet ( canada) if it isn't Rogers authorized SMTP server, SMTP on your end will be ignored. This may be the case with search engins too..
