Stopping other domains from stealing my site

@daveBaldwin,
Do you have experience with something like this?  

I am trying to figure out what their intensions are, they are from HongKong, I am in the US.

I will implement your "iframe stopper" and my "server ip stopper" when I am back at the office.

We had a related question recently and I found that code and checked it.  Frames have been a common way to hi-jack sites.  Let me know if that's not what is happening.

@DaveBaldwin
Well, it looks like they were not using iframes, when I looked at the view source from their site, I didn't see any frames.  I tried your code and nothing changed, so they are probably not using frames.

This is what I did (I am on a windows server, hosted by Godaddy, running IIS7, classic asp site) my second line of code is:

if request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") = "mysite.com" then

So, with the code above, if the server name is not my domain, the page will not load.  The above code worked, my site is no longer visible under their domain name...

I will still use your code Baldwin, in case they start using iframes....

Do you think it is better to redirect them to my site instead of having it be blank?

I am open to all ideas...

If you redirect it to your site, they may not notice as quickly and maybe you'll get some more viewers.  If you want them.

The dynamic code that runs on your system does not transfer if they copied your site since all they can copy is the HTML content and your server check will not be part of it.  You can contact the provider and advise them that their customer is violating your copyrights.

You could try to look at the Referrer section of your server to see if the request is seen as being a link to not respond or do something that wioll aolert the user that they are/should go to your site directly.

Without seeing the notyour site, it is impossible to know whether it is really a link or something else.

It wasn't a copy, it was my site.  If I made a change on one of my pages (ie added some text), it would show up immediately on their site.  It was an exact "live" copy.

Added the dynamic code blocked the site from showing on their site.

Let me know if that makes sense or not, I can remove the code and show you the two different sites if needed.....

It sounds like they were having the domain forwarded to your site.  If you post the URL we can look it up and see what's going on.

their site is photo.sumlink.info

Please note, nothing will show as I have the dynamic code in place.

How do you look that up?

-Slim

Here's the domain registration info on "sumlink.info"  "photo.sumlink.info" is a subdomain of that.  And yes, they are pointing straight to your Godaddy site.  They are probably doing domain forwarding from their registrar which is 'alias.info' in Egypt... which appears to be part of 'extensions.net' which is registered thru Godaddy.  Their servers appear to be in Seattle.

I use IDServe.exe from GRC.com and WhoisTD.exe from Nirsoft.

@davebaldwin,
I had pulled up their whois info earlier and tried giving them a call, ofcourse the phone number is not valid, lol.

Any ideas as to why they would forward to my domain?

My site is an order management site, specifically designed for a small shopping cart program (probably only 200,000 users or so).  It has only been live for a few weeks.

Thanks for all the insight!

-Slim

It is impossible to determine their motivation.  Could be they would collect the information submitted.

I guess they liked your work....

DaveBaldwin was extremely helpful and gave good insight into my issue.

His solution was related to iframes, which wasn't the problem I was faced with, though it is something I was able to implement and it should hopefully provide some "security" in the future.

Thanks to dave a solution was reached.
