One of the most productive approaches to limit the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of the individuals which mustn't be able to open it. There are many reasons why you should do that. For instance, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can limit the access for a whole country. You could also block IP addresses in case you notice that there are too many Internet browser requests from them, if a large number of spam comments are left in your websites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In all of these cases, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any suspicious IP address, to be on the safe side. Thus, you'll also avoid the prospect of your web server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.
