Webmastering 101

Blocking bots and other unwanted visitors

At some point, you may want to block visitors from certain IP addresses from accessing your site. You can do this by creating a .htaccess file and inserting the following code:

order allow,deny
deny from 111.11.111.111
deny from 222.22.222.222
allow from all

Of course, replace 111.11.111.111 and 222.22.222.222 with the real IP addresses that you want to block.
