One of the most reliable methods to restrict the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of the people that mustn't be able to open it. There are many good reasons to do this. As an example, you may want a certain individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can restrict the access for an entire country. You can even block IP addresses in case you detect that there are too many browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left on your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded a large number of times. In any of these scenarios, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any questionable IP address, in order to be on the safe side. That way, you will also avoid the prospect of your hosting server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.
