One of the most productive methods to limit the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of the people that should not be able to open it. There are numerous good reasons to do that. For instance, you may want a certain individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you could restrict the access for an entire state. You can even block IP addresses if you detect that there are too many browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left within your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded a large number of times. In any of these situations, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any questionable IP address, so as to be on the safe side. That way, you'll also avoid the possibility of your server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.
