I have done this some time ago, I made sure that there was no link
from any pages to the new site, Google stayed away until somebody
typed the address into the search field, then it was known.<br>
<br>
This is no guarantee of course as mentioned in other place but it
worked for about 6 months.<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.

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?

Thanks.
