Reverse IP lookup - Blocking

Is there a way to block whois.sc from displaying the reverse IP lookup on your server/hosting account IP?

I know that you can pay them $20 to do it for you but is there any way you can block them from even getting the info at all without having to pay them to hide it for you?

I cannot give you details as to why I am asking this (but I will at a later date when things blow over). Problem is that every site on my hosting account was "violated" and I think it was from someone I may have pissed off inadvertently in a forum (it happends). The only way that I can think of that they could have found out all the sites I have is that they did a reverse IP lookup on whois.sc.

I know your probably thinking that I should just probably pay whois.sc $20 to block it if I'm that worried about it, but I have more than one hosting account/IP that I'd like to block and it would cost me hundreds of dollars to have them block all of these IPs for me.

Thanks

BTW, I just read on whois.sc that paying them the $20 to block your IP actaully only disallows free users to view the info but paid members are allowed to do a reverse lookup - unrestricted. That's BS if you ask me.

I just emailed my host to see what they say.

There is many services on the internet offering such kind of info.
Whois.sc is maybe most popular, but webhosting.info for example do the same. You can do this for your self if you have time and resources.

For blocking - it is imposible by me.
Domain name - IP is public info.
Another public info - DNS for domain.
Whois.sc just check this info for each known by them domain from time to time and collects it into data base.

Maybe some kind of redirection is workaround, but just maybe.

Thanks for the info.

So where can someone go to lookup all the domains hosted on 1 IP address besides paying whois.sc $15/month?

I mean besides webhosting.info. I tried them and their info is very outdated. I'm talking at least by 2 months.
