Is there a way to block a specific ISP from being able to access your site. I don’t want a password, just to stop certain people from being able to view my site.

Hi George,
Use an .htacess file to block the IP address, addresses or domains;

Be aware of dynamic address ranges as blocking a certain user today
may block another user tomorrow.
Regards,
Tim.

No! It goes on your server at Root via FTP or similar.

Thanks. I see that now after I did some more investigating.

I tried the following.
Created a .txt file with:
order allow,deny
deny from 69.138.157.177
allow from all
Uploaded to my server (I placed it in the folder where the site is, I have a sub domain site in another folder).
Renamed the file .htaccess
When I try to load the site I get a big Internal Server Error.
Where did I go wrong?
Thanks.

You should have - over 3 lines (might just be the display on the web forum)
order allow,deny
deny from 69.138.157.177
allow from all
Did you make sure that the text file you created was plain text and not RTF

Yep, it is 3 lines and a .txt file.
Perhaps I am not putting it in the ‘root’ directory?

and a .txt file
It can be a .txt file and still be in rtf
Is it called .htaccess.txt should just be .htaccess
Perhaps I am not putting it in the ‘root’ directory?
Should be in the same folder as the files you are trying to block access to.

I tried it again and made sure the text file was saving as Unicode and this time it worked. Well, it doesn’t crash the site at least. Can’t know if the ip is blocked.
Thanks for the help.

If you put in your own IP address and then try you will know if it works or not.
If you go to http://www.deltadzine.net/george you can see your IP address on the last line
