I have a small reseller web hosting account and have many other domains sharing the same IP address.
The problem is, when I google search my domain name, I find other domains with same IP address showing in my search result.
For example, if my domain name is greenapples.com, the search will display:
Fresh Green Apples
Buy green apples today.
www.greenapples.com
Fresh Green Apples
Buy green apples today.
www.anotherdomainwithsameip.com <----??
When I click on the "another domain", it shows my website though without my domain.
I have tried to block with robots.txt and has not worked.
I would appreciate any help.

I have a simple landing page for insurance leads I setup a few days ago. After installing the Pixel I notice there are two other websites for the site somehow. The site is installed on a brand new Digital Ocean droplet.
I don't know anything about these sites. When I type the names of the sites in a browser they take me to my landing page.
I don't want to share any names of the site because I don't want you all registering visits with the pixel, so maybe I can give you site in a DM if you need to visit it. Thank you.
DO, like any other cloud provider, re-use IP all the time. Most likely at one point, someone bought a domain and point it to their DO instance, then either forgot or don't bother to update the domain when they delete their instance (which release the IP back to the pool). This is a very common occurrence. One could also point a domain they bought to any IP they want, even those they don't own.
Your webserver right now is set to serve any request to 80/443 regardless of the domain. Fix that, and typing those URLs won't load your landing page. If you enabled HTTPS redirection, those URLs won't (automatically) load either, because the certificate won't match.
I got mail from snapchat that my account is logged in and they also sent some data about who logged into my account like IP address(49.206.223.160). I AM not the one who logged into my account then I got to know that someone has hacked the account. The only clue with which I was left is IP address which I am sure is that the attacker is not using any VPN. When I checked about the IP address data in https://whatismyipaddress.com/ it shows attacker is using ACT fibernet(ISP).
Now can I know about the information like area where this IP address is served by ISP.
Such tools actually exist. I'm familiar with MaxMind, which is commercial.
They apparently have a free demo. I fed the IP 49.206.222.39 and got:

I'm helping my uncle who has a website that he doesn't remember anything about, whatsoever. He has had it for years and he's very unstructured. I tried getting him to find a bill from the hosting-company, where he has his website - but he says he's paying to so many things that he doens't know what is, so that wasn't an option.
I tried running a whois on his domain, but it's pointing to a free online DNS-redelegation tool ( www.gratisDNS.dk - the nameservers are called ns1.gratisdns.dk, ns2.gratisdns.dk, ...). I know that many companies use this tool to redirect the traffic to their own hosting-solution (since gratisdns means 'free dns').
So the question is, if I can find the hosting company some other way, by having the domain name and the name-servers? I would assume that the answer is 'no' (just FYI).
The WHOIS protocol works for IP addresses, as well as domain names. If you find the IP address the site is hosted on and look it up, it should return information about the owner of the IP address and therefore who hosts the website.
For example, for stackoverflow.com:
$ ping stackoverflow.com
PING stackoverflow.com (104.16.33.249) 56(84) bytes of data.
...
$ whois 104.16.33.249
...
NetRange: 104.16.0.0 - 104.31.255.255

find hostnames associated with IP's. Do whois look up.
WHois tool is the best tool to find the details of a host. All you have to do is visit whois and enter domain name in the search box and hit the search button. All the information will be displayed on your screen along with hosting company and domain name registrar.
I have two eCommerce websites,
for eg.
1. www.abc.com
2. www.abc.co.uk
Previously, both sites were on US server. We have shifted them to Indian Server and Redesign both websites. At the start we didn't redirect all urls to the new website, after two days, old urls redirection was complete to the new urls for www.abc.com.
Now problem is when I search for my domain name in Google.co.uk , It shows me www.abc.co.uk website in search results but WITH META TITLE and DESCRIPTION of www.abc.com website. How it can be possible ? Does Google consider both websites as the same? How can other website title appear to another website? Does changing server or bad URL redirection create such issues? Also, I have restricted UK website only for UK Region, and did the redirection of the .com website to .co.uk if anyone opens the .com website in UK region vice versa
My .co.uk site was ranking on every related keyword, but now ranking has been disturbed badly.
Please share your answers
Changing server is surely not the issue. Bad redirection is a possible cause, wrong canonical links too. Redesign could explain ranking disturbance. Redirection can explain temporary ranking disturbance (not permanent).
Eventually, report this in Google's Webmaster Tool forum.
I am facing a strange thing when i open some URL. The URL is (www.jobserve.com)
When i open this URL from my home, it opens some web page. Same url if i open from my office network, i get a entirely differnt URL, which is what i want.
Both, my home and office are in same city in India(3 Km. apart!) but somehow from my home network, i get served a entirely different page which is not what i am trying to open.(The page opening up in the office one is desired one. Office network has proxy/firewall which could be shielding the IP address for opening to outside world!).
My question is why is it happening so, because both accesses are happening from same country/city(but different ISPs though!), so there cannot be a country/IP specific host/content served differently than the global content of the same server.
So what could be happening here?
This raised another question in my mind(when i tried to find ip of the server using nslookup and domain name which returned error - "can't find www.jobserve.com/: Non-existent domain"):-
How can i find IP address of the web server using the domain name other than nslookup which is not working for this particular domain/url?
I recall there were some sites which find geographical location of server and show that pictorially, but i am not able to recall the url for that? Does anyone know?
Thanks,
-AD.
Some sites look at the incoming IP address, lookup where it's coming from and then take various actions they think relevant to you - usually, redirecting you to a more-local site.
Of course, lots of sites react if they think they've "seen you before." For example, there may be cookies that tell them something about you. Or, they may be reacting to your browser.
Sometimes, organizations look at the source IP address and if it's coming from a business they may respond differently than if it's from a non-business ("home") IP.
And, sometimes companies intercept IP traffic and edit it in various ways. This is not normally done to web pages, but if your employer isn't happy with your watching porn at work ( -smile- ), they may do something about it! ...China is well known for doing this type of interception...
I work for an UK based company and all my regional settings are UK based. Moreover the internet is itself from UK so all websites act as if I am from UK.
Google.com goes to google.co.uk
virgin, T mobile ads every where
Does this give any idea about why you are getting a different website in office?
For finding the IP address: don't use a slash. Just
nslookup www.jobserve.com
Alternatively, you can use a website like http://www.domaintools.com/ (there are many others, that's just the first one that comes to my mind).
