How to block traffic from a domain?

Thanks for all the information, I have been waiting a long time for this information.

Create a file call .htaccess (don't forget the .) and place in the root of your public web directory, which is normally public_html.

Add this text to the .htaccess file in order to block certain or blocks of IPs. Below is an example of this.


deny from 209.51.151.180
deny from 202.6.96.


the first denies from that specific IP and the second denies from that entire Ip scheme, which is pretty broad. A * can also be used as a wild card in place of the numbers. Go ahead ad add the Ip addresses you want to ban from your site in place of the ones I listed. Just be careful not to add your IP or you will ban yourself.

Use .htaccess

Because sometimes the quality is not great. For example: If most traffic is non-human (robotic) then it has no use for you. Thats why people block specific traffic.

Lets say you are a Adsense Publisher, and your site receive Auto surf or robot traffic from another domain. if you couldn't stop this you get ban from adsense. So there are times you need these things.

If your using IPtables on your server, do the following via shell
iptables -I INPUT -s XX.XX.XXX.X -j DROP
That would block access from a certain ip. You can also specify a range of ips.
Another method, can be read about here, where you can APF to block certain traffic

Trexhost, you seem a real expert in web hosting. But, I don't have any server, just a simple reseller account. I think the .htaccess way is very easy for newbies or people with less knowledge. Anyways, thanks a lot for mentioning this method
