One of the most productive ways to limit the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of individuals which shouldn't be able to open it. There are numerous reasons why you should do that. As an example, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your site, or you may restrict the access for an entire country. You can also block IP addresses if you notice that there are way too many web browser requests from them, if a large number of spam comments are left in your sites or if a script login page has been loaded a large number of times. In each of these situations, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been produced 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 steer clear of the chance of your server getting overloaded by many fake requests.
