are subdomains allowed to do this? Options

[miszxjojo]

so i have a subdomain. and i was wondering if i was allowed to ban people? or does your host have to do that for you?

if you know the IP address of the person you're looking to block, you can just use a simple rule in a .htaccess file.
if you don't already have a .htaccess file, you'll need to create one (the entire file is named ".htaccess"; there's nothing before or after it).

paste this into the file, save it, and upload it to the root directory of your domain (yoursite.yourhostsite.com/.htaccess):

CODE

order allow,deny
deny from ###.###.###.###
deny from ###.###.###.###
allow from all

replace the # symbols with the IP address. if you need more, just add them to the list.
