Hi,

I currently have an account with a webhost that is not used (the account is almost completely empty except for the raw log files) and the domain name isn't even pointing to the correct DNS servers for traffic to the domain to reach the server. But somehow, I am getting traffic to the site that is not my own. My log file reads as follows:

I am not familiar with what any of this means. Does anyone know exactly and could perhaps explain?

I've not read though all of that properly, i'm a little too tired but if your site was up for any period of time atall it's most likley just search engine bots and perhaps a few people that have you in their favorities, under the hosts subdomain that you have rather than your main domain (odd i know, but it does happen)

That one for example is just a search engine bot, and anything else that requests the file "robots.txt" will be also.

As long as nobodys actually logging into your account or anything, i wouldn't worry about it, send it to me if you want, hehe
