    Text or images? If they copied and pasted the content I'm not sure you can do anything cPanel-wise at that point. You could look into the panel hotlink feature if its images from your server being displayed on their site.

    Sorry, i dont explain the problem correctly. Another domain use all my domain content and duplicate the site. For example www.mydomain.com/content/folder/anycontent appears in www.anotherdomain.com/content/folder/anycontent The other domain duplicte my website. I activated hotlink and this protect some images, but I want to restric to duplicate my site from another domain.

    If they have copied YOUR content and stored and use it on their own site as if it were their own content, you need to issue a DMCA Takedown notice. If they have no contact details, and the whois records are also private, find out who the host is (Google 'Who Hosts this Site') and issue them with the notice

    Thanks, for now I have two solutions. 1.- Put this code in .htaccess
    RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} ^(www\.)?anotherdomain\.com$ [OR] RewriteRule ^ - [F]
    or 2.- Put this deny Rule in my virtual host
    AllowOverride none Order Allow,Deny Allow from all
    It seems to work. And block the "anotherdomain" with a 403 or 404 error. What solution is better for you? On the other hand, it is unfair to have to pay a service (DMCA) to protect my content. I am not the culprit. I contacted with the domain owner and I expect an answer. Many Thanks,

    Are they hotlinking to your images etc, or have they copied and pasted your text as well, into their own pages, or used maybe iframes? Have they copied your images and stored them on their own server? There are sample DCMA letters/emails on the web and you can do it yourself by contacting the host directly. Last time I had to do this the site owner ignored all my emails and letters, but hours after I contacted the host, the site was down completely. It came back up a few days later minus any of my content.

    Hello cotswoldphoto, The unauthorized domain pointing to my ip, and then take the content directly from my server. I think that my problem is similar to this Preventing unauthorized domains from pointing to my website or How do I block someone else's domain pointing to my website? or How do I prevent Apache from answering requests for domains I don't host?

    Hello :) This, along with reporting the issue to their web hosting provider, is likely the best course of action you can take. Thank you.

    Hello Andy766, and sorry. Put this in your .htaccess
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} !^(www\.)?yourdomain\.com$ RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} !^(www\.)?youraliases\.com$ RewriteRule ^ - [F]
    Works for me. In the SERVER_NAME you need specify the domains that you want to access to your website.

    In this rule, put your domain and their aliases. Not his domain.

    like RewriteCond %{host.mydomain.com} !^(www\.)?mydomain\.com$ RewriteCond %{host.mydomain.com} !^(www\.)?host\.mydomain\.com\$ RewriteRule ^ - [F] i found the servername and ServerAlias from httpd.conf .. Please check and let me know if this is ok ?

    For example, if your domain is andy766.com then
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} !^(www\.)?andy766\.com$ RewriteRule ^ - [F]
    If you have aliases for your domain (other parked domains), for example andy766aliases.com, then
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} !^(www\.)?andy766\.com$ RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} !^(www\.)?andy766aliases\.com$ RewriteRule ^ - [F]
    All domains that you add to this rule can access all content in public_html . Remember to put this in the .htaccess inside public_html.

    Are you sure he's linking to your domain or could the entire website have been ripped and posted to some other domain?

    Yes, test it please.

    Sorry! This works for me. Try this: htaccess - Deny requests from unauthorized domains

    nope this is not the case... bcz if i edit anything on my site.. lets say design.. etc.. it reflects on his domain..seems like he is using some type of iframe and most if all that person is using cloudlfare ip
