One of the most effective ways to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of the people which shouldn't be able to open it. There are many good reasons to do this. As an illustration, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your website, or you could limit the access for an entire nation. You can also block IP addresses in case you detect that there are too many Internet browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left within your sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In each of these scenarios, the traffic is most probably fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any questionable IP address, so as to be on the safe side. Thus, you'll also stay away from the possibility of your hosting server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.
