blocking ip

[poolshark49]

hey is it possible 2 my block a certain ip from viewing my website?

Provided you are running on an Apache-based server, you may use a htaccess file to deny defined IP addresses. Firstly paste the following code into your text-editor of choice:

order allow,deny
deny from 127.0.0.1
allow from all
Now replace the psuedo-ip 127.0.0.1 with the IP address you wish to deny access to your site.

Save as .htaccess (yes, no filename just an extension) and upload to your server's root directory.

.htaccess isn't an extension, it is a filename without an extension. The . on the front is what tells Linux that it is a hidden file. It is only Windows that gets confused about the . and so you have to specify it as ".htaccess" in order to let windows know not to try to add an extension to it.

I would suggest using any server side language to block an ip or ip range. You can do it with client-side scripting but that is easy to get around.
