Default Re: addon domains

Hi chandrika,

thanks for joining in. As far as I know spiders will always start at the top level of a domain and if it is going down several levels from there then I'm sure it would be thinking that this is a deeper part of the main website. It might see the add-on as less important than the main site. I doubt this could be controlled effectivly in the robot.txt or even sitemaps etc, your disallowing them to go there so they may just go away and say "ok then they dont want us to go there so we wont"... A robot.txt file in a subdirectory would be useless in my opinion.

I'm really surprised I'm even having to discuss this as this is not true domain hosting as far as I'm concerned and it's similar to what I considered options 5 years ago but it's not even an option to have a website in this condition, I'm a little mad really (not at you chandrika of course lol ) but CPanel & hosting co for not having a proper solution, maybe we are missing something?
