What about VM customer webspace? Does that work the same way?
What have VM said about webmaster opt-out and robots.txt? Can it be used on VM customer webspace? Has anyone asked VM about it?

vm webspace doesnt allow anything other than static html pages (not including a small subset of the old companys network that did see fit to use a real webserver package)no bin dir,nothing, so its assumed robots etc wont work eather.
