Unsolved What would the exact text be for robots.txt to stop Moz crawling a subdomain?

[Simon-Plan]

I need Moz to stop crawling a subdomain of my site, and am just checking what the exact text should be in the file to do this.

I assume it would be:

User-agent: Moz
Disallow: /

But just checking so I can tell the agency who will apply it, to avoid paying for their time with the incorrect text!

Many thanks.

To disallow Moz from crawling a specific subdomain, you would need to add a robots.txt file to the root directory of that subdomain with the following content:

User-agent: rogerbot
Disallow: /

This will disallow Moz's web crawler, Rogerbot, from crawling any page or file within the subdomain. Keep in mind that this will only prevent Moz from crawling the subdomain - other search engines or bots may still be able to access it unless you add specific disallow rules for them as well.

@Simon-Plan No, when you put just slash / you will disallow everything.
Instead you need to put /foo/ where foo is your subdomain. Please see here for a reference to some relevant examples: https://searchfacts.com/robots-txt-allow-disallow-all/
