# Fleet-wide default robots.txt — disallow known AI training / search # crawlers for all Ultra Web Hosting customer sites that don't have # their own robots.txt. Served by nginx (see sentinel-robots-fallback.conf) # when no customer file exists at $document_root/robots.txt. # # Customers who want AI crawlers to access their site can override # unconditionally by dropping their own robots.txt into /home// # public_html/ — nginx's try_files checks their file first, ours is # only used as fallback. # # Last updated: 2026-04-24 # OpenAI User-agent: GPTBot Disallow: / User-agent: OAI-SearchBot Disallow: / User-agent: ChatGPT-User Disallow: / # Anthropic User-agent: ClaudeBot Disallow: / User-agent: anthropic-ai Disallow: / # Google (AI training, not core search — Google-Extended is the ONLY # way to opt out of AI training for Google since Googlebot shares the # UA string for search and Gemini training).
