One of the most productive ways to limit the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of individuals that mustn't be able to open it. There are many reasons why you should do this. For instance, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your website, or you could limit the access for a whole country. You can also block IP addresses if you notice that there are way too many browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left on your websites or if a script login page has been loaded a large number of times. In each of these cases, the traffic is most probably fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any suspicious IP address, in order to be on the safe side. Thus, you will also avoid the prospect of your hosting server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.
