One of the most effective approaches to limit the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the people which mustn't be able to open it. There are several reasons why you should do that. As an example, you may want a particular individual not to be able to see your site, or you could restrict the access for an entire state. You could also block IP addresses in case you discover that there are lots of Internet browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left within your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In any of these situations, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any suspicious IP address, in order to be on the safe side. In this way, you shall also prevent the prospect of your hosting server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.
