How Can I Block An Ip In Cpanel?

Is it possible to block a certain IP for my site?

 

I am trying to block this stupid guy from spamming my forums.

Hello earthwormjim,

 

Yes, you should have two options to do this. Once you find the spammer's IP address simply login to your control panel ( www.your-domain.com/cpanel ). Once in there you should notice an IP deny manager icon - you can block the spammers IP address from this interface.

 

You can also just add the following code into your .htaccess file:

 

><Limit GET>
order deny,allow
deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
</Limit>
