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.
