What is ServerHunterSpider?
About
ServerHunterSpider is a specialized web crawler that indexes pricing, specifications, and stock information of hosting plans from 850+ providers, fully respecting robots.txt while building a comprehensive server comparison database. You can see how often ServerHunterSpider visits your website by setting up Dark Visitors Agent Analytics.
Expected Behavior
Due to the wide variety of use cases, there's no way to accurately predict visitation behavior. Scrapers are notorious for ignoring robots.txt rules and accessing disallowed content. This is especially true if they're dispatched to achieve a specific goal rather than for some general purpose.

Should I Block ServerHunterSpider?
Probably. Scrapers usually download publicly available internet content, which is freely accessible by default. However, you might want to block them if you don't want your content to be used for unauthorized purposes.
How Do I Block ServerHunterSpider?
You can block ServerHunterSpider or limit its access by setting user agent token rules in your website's robots.txt. Set up Dark Visitors Agent Analytics to check whether it's actually following them.

⚠️ Manual Robots.txt Editing Is Not Scalable
New agents are created every day. We recommend setting up Dark Visitors Automatic Robots.txt if you want to block all agents of this type.
