Actually I had DNS for this.<br>

Something in a search string, if this has the address visits from
the bots are next to come. My experience for this and some other
cases.<br>

This is my experience. I did this when I wanted the site to be known
to the world.<br>

Time in this case is days or less.<br>
<br>
There are also bots that search random IP addresses for content, the
only way to keep those away that I know of is to have a welcome page
in <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://xx.xx/index.html">http://xx.xx/index.html</a> and using e.g.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://xx.xx/test/mynewsite/index.html">http://xx.xx/test/mynewsite/index.html</a> for my test site.<br>
Bots will find the welcome page and if that does not have a link to
my mynewsite, they do not know that there is something to look at.<br>
This has worked for me as well for quite some time, again if it hits
a search in any search engine, you're done.<br>

I realise this is not specifically a BIND/DNS question
and a bit off topic so please ignore if need be I
realise people are often very busy. <br>
<br>
If you you have a website but the host IP you do not
list with any domain name in DNS, is it definite that
this site could never be reached via Google. I do not
really know the nuts and bolts of how Google gets
access to pages. <br>
<br>
If for 'some particular reason' instead of developing
a site on a local dev machine on your LAN and then
uploading/installing the site to a remote server, you
needed 'for what ever reason' to do the development
and testing on the final live host accessing it via
the ip address, would this be a way to be 'almost
certain' of keeping it hidden from unwanted accidental
exposure? <br>
<br>
Thanks. <br>
