One of the most efficient methods to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of individuals which should not be able to open it. There are several good reasons to do that. As an example, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your website, or you could restrict the access for a whole nation. You can even block IP addresses in case you discover that there are way too many Internet browser requests from them, if a large number of spam comments are left on your sites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In all of these situations, the traffic is most probably fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any suspicious IP address, to be on the safe side. That way, you'll also stay away from the chance of your server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.
