IP Blocking
Find out more about IP blocking, why it could be so beneficial and when to use it.
One of the most productive ways to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of the individuals that shouldn't be able to open it. There are various reasons why you should do that. As an illustration, you may want a specific individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you may restrict the access for an entire state. You can even block IP addresses if you notice that there are too many browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left on your websites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In any of these situations, the traffic is most probably fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any questionable IP address, so as to be on the safe side. Thus, you shall also steer clear of the prospect of your hosting server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.
