@yuvrajsindhal Moz does not have the ability to shut down websites. That is likely through your hosting provider.

If there is an area of the Moz tool that you're having trouble with, I can definitely help you there!

@rayabahadur Moved this post into its own topic thread! Thanks for posting in the Moz SEO Forum!

Hi @ikuraa,

Welcome to the Moz SEO Forum! My name is Hayley and I am one of our moderators.

Unfortunately, Moz cannot track a site with just an IP Address. You should be able to track your site using your site URL so long as your website is open to web crawlers (more info on our web crawler here)

Are you running the site through a domain like Wix or Squarespace? I may be able to provide additional information with additional context!

@joelx great answer! Thanks for contributing!

Hi @moviesflix, please see the original post for more info here!

Additionally, it's important that your site is available to be read my our Moz crawler. More info on that here: https://moz.com/help/moz-pro/site-crawl/crawl-troubleshooting

Hope this helps!

Hey Moz Community,

We've noticed that there are questions about Domain Authority, what it is, and how to positively impact it. We're here to answer your questions! For a full overview, please see our help hub article here: https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority

First, it's important to keep in mind that Domain Authority (DA) is a search engine ranking score developed by Moz that predicts how likely a website is to rank in search engine result pages (SERPs). It is not a Google ranking factor. Domain Authority scores range from one to 100, with higher scores corresponding to a greater likelihood of ranking.

Since DA is based on machine learning calculations, your site's score will often fluctuate as more, fewer, or different data points become available and are incorporated into those calculations.

For instance, if facebook.com were to acquire a billion new links, every other site’s DA would drop relative to Facebook’s. Because more established and authoritative domains like Facebook will have increasingly larger link profiles, they take up more of the high-DA slots, leaving less room at the higher end of the scale for other domains with less robust link profiles. Therefore, it's significantly easier to grow your score from 20 to 30 than it is to grow it from 70 to 80. For this reason, it’s important to use Domain Authority as a comparative metric rather than an absolute one.

The best way to influence your DA is to improve your overall site health with a focus on the quality and quantity of external links pointing to your site.

Happy analyzing!

This is a great answer! Thanks so much @garyblue!
