Just searched for something in Google and, as usual, this site comes up top. However, I notice there's a complete duplicate below it:



Ash - it looks like this site is also being hosted under the URL ns408.vpshosted.com - presumably this is the default URL of the server we're now sat on. Basically, that needs to go - Google have found it and are now indexing it for inclusion in their search results.

That's not what you want - content can get down-rated if it's found to be duplicated on the internet, you want your site to be the *only* place those results are found, to make sure it's always top. If it stays how it is, the vpshosted.com URL could end up being above the main one in the results, and could have an adverse effect on our Google rankings.

So just needs that other URL to not respond to web requests, basically.
