How to Remove URLs from Google Search Engine

Our hosting provider has a kind of internal subdomain with our domain IP like: n265-269-265-265.cnet.hosting.iiii That internal subdomain is redirected to our registered domain and is publically available. Google indexed internal domain content and now it is appearing on search pages. We'd like that Google remove that internal subdomain redirected content from search. We don't know how. Any help?

Our hosting provider is acctually a subprovider and, AFAIK, doesn't fully control that main hosting domain and I stucked in a discussion with them about what can be done.

You can remove content from google by using Google webmaster tools, see this page on Google which should help you to answer your query.

You will need to register your subdomain with webmaster tools and authorise it before you can remove it but it's a very easy process.

The other thing you may want to consider is adding a canonical URL to the page, this way Google will know that the URL should be the proper one and not the subdomain.

That's not our domain. The main domain is of our hosting provider. – blagi Jul 19 '12 at 12:26
You should still be able to register the directory that your files are in – Vince Pettit Jul 19 '12 at 12:34

Looks like I solved this issue with .htaccess:<pre>RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(exact-subdomain-inside this bracket)$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [R=410,L]</pre> – blagi Jul 19 '12 at 13:47
