One of the most reliable methods to restrict the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of the individuals which should not be able to open it. There are numerous good reasons to do that.

You can also block IP addresses if you discover that there are lots of web browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left within your websites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In any of these cases, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any suspicious IP address, so as to be on the safe side. This way, you shall also avoid the possibility of your hosting server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.
