One of the most reliable approaches to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of the people which mustn't be able to open it. There are several reasons to do that. For example, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your website, or you could limit the access for a whole nation. You could also block IP addresses in case you notice that there are way too many web browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left in your sites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In each of these cases, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any suspicious IP address, so as to be on the safe side. That way, you shall also stay away from the chance of your hosting server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.
