.Htaccess IP Banning IP Block Bad Visitors

Increase your web site’s security by blocking bad visitors with .htaccess. If you have nuisance visitors, site scrapers, or spammers, you may want to add some lines of code to your .htaccess file that will block bad visitors by IP address or by blocks of IP addresses. You want to be careful though that you don’t ban blocks of IPs carelessly as you may end up banning potential customers or other valid site visitors. Also, nothing is completely foolproof as the user can always use another IP address, but I’ve found that this does reduce the number of troublesome incidents.
