One of the most efficient 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 reasons to do this. As an illustration, you may want a specific person not to be able to see your website, or you may limit the access for a whole country. You could also block IP addresses in case you discover that there are too many Internet browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left in your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In all of these cases, the traffic is most probably fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any shady IP address, so as to be on the safe side. In this way, you'll also prevent the chance of your web server getting overloaded by many fake requests.
