Block All Visitors From Country X
Oct 5, 2007
I have experianced a number of attacks all from a specific country.
I would like to completely block access to all users from that country.
I realize that this is not fool proof because people from that country could still use a proxy.
I also realize that people in that country that are not hackers would not be able to access my web site but for the time being I still want to put this in place.
I use Linux / Cpanel / Apache. I have iptables installed.
Is there any way I can block all access to people from the problem country?

why a client orders a dedicated server from Russia but then they inform us they have transferred the money from Hong Kong bank Telegraphic transfer, different person?
We really do our best to be reasonable but what is the logic behind that?

I've just finally got fed up with all the people from Israel trying to hack into my servers. Of course they're always auto-banned, but getting several attempts per day emailed to me it gets old...so I banned the entire country.
Anyone else ban entire countries from their servers?

Just joined sitepoint forums so Hi everybody
I am very new to web design and have been messing around making mock sites and would like to get some of them live so I can get experience with using host's and get some reviews on my basic designs.
I have just relocated to New Zealand and it seems pretty steep on pricing for hosting companies so can I use hosting companies outside of NZ.
What would be the disadvantages if any?
I am not after anything special like loads of bandwidth or storage.

I had a few sites hacked today. I'm using phpbb (all updates) and, apparently, the only thing they did was to drop the database and replace it with one featuring a single post "advertising" their hacker group. I tried bringing everything back on-line, but they would just attack again and take it down quickly... I'm thinking it's probably just some script kiddies.
They announce themselves as "turkish hackers". Browsing around for their message, I found they attacked quite a few sites. What I was thinking, to help preventing this from happening again, is to ban all visitors from Turkey (none of these sites has a need for them, as they're aimed at a local audience).
Can I do this simply by using "deny from .tr" in htaccess? Or are there any more steps to be taken?

Are there hosters that do that?
Best would be European.
i know that i.e. Hetzner gives you PA Space with your own Netname ("netname:" field) (maybe also own Adress) but they dont allow to change the "country:" field, and it stays "DE"
I would like to have a block of 8/16/32 IPs with own "Netname:" field, and own "Country:" field (or as Countrycode "CN", "HK", "AG", "BS" or "KY")
Could Provide P.O. Boxes in all that countrys if needed.
The Server behind it does not really matter, location should be not Germany and not USA (cant comply with some Laws in this 2 Countrys) - something like 1Ghz CPU, 80Gb HDD, 512Mb Ram is enough - 100Mbit (or 10Mbit Burstable) with ~350Gb Traffic.

I've seen sites that use only 1 domain name, and when I ping it from one country the IP is different from when I ping it from another country.

I am in the process of setting up a VPN server for a client who lives in a Middle Eastern country.
He will be using the VPN for all his internet surfing, email access, etc. (So the VPN will be his internet gateway. His local ISP connection will only be used to make the VPN connection.)
The majority of his internet surfing through the VPN will be to US websites.
Where is the best place to locate the VPN server? I have two datacenters available to choose from: USA or UK

setting up another website which will have hopefully both a uk and us audience. I am looking at going with godaddy as they offer a domain extension I want, which no uk service seems to offer. Is there any disadvantages to this, will it operate slower?

I got a list of IPs from the country i want to block from blockacountry.com and i added them to my .htaccess as I have no access to PF or IP tables firewall.
I am concerned about the server load if I get too many requests from that country to access the webpage, I have been told of a better solution, blocking someone based on the browser language they use, for example for China that is "zh-CN" but I don't know how to implement this and I have not been able to find it through Google, help with this appreciated.
Second thing, anyone knows what happens when someone attempts to access a webpage from a blocked IP? Do they get a "Page not found" or "your IP is blacklisted" message?
If I block by browser language it would be good if the blocking message does not tell the user about this
(Notice that I am aware that blocking by browser language is not a perfect solution).

This might be a very broad question, but do they split up IP Address Groups for each region in countries? I know my country is quite small and all, but I was interested to know if IP addresses can be tracked for regions, more specifically in other countries.

Currently i am running on a Mediatemple DV base VPS that provides me 256MB guaranteed RAM, and a processing speed of appx 190Mhz and is on Virtuozzo.
Currently my site keeps going down and i dont know what to do...
Can anyone please suggest me a better VPS for my site.
My Budget is around 60$.
I checked linode and they are providing 900MB of RAM guaranteed, along with 533Mhz of processing, but the only problem i feel is that they are running on UML.
How good is linode?, anyone used them before, any previous experiences.
how stable is UML?, is it better to have Virtuozzo or UML.
I am actually looking for Xen servers,Can anyone suggest me on Xen?
Vpsland is providing Xen servers, do anyone have any previous experiences with Vpsland,Linode.
Even JaguarPC is providing a VPS for 512MB ram, on vitruozzo or 59$,how good is JaguarPC, any previous experiences...
If you can provide me more services that fall within 60$ and a minimum of 512MB ram,

Something not many people know when choosing a web host is the importance of choosing a host that will aid your marketing and your website’s niche. This can be very important if you are running an online store depending on the geographic region you are focusing on. So first let’s start with an explanation of why this all depends on who your site’s visitors will be.
Most internet connections are very fast but it still matters where the physical server is hosted in terms of speed. If I was starting an online store focusing on customers in Texas the site is going to server faster to people from Texas if it is in Texas. Similarly if you are building a site aimed at United Kingdom residents you don’t want the server to be in the United States or even Europe in some cases. By hosting in a location near your customer base you are speeding up their access time to the server. This might not seem like a big deal but in a number of studies the importance of a quick loading page can mean a big difference in the number of conversions. Or if you are hosting a game server ping time will obviously matter when you are shooting your next zombie.
In terms of marketing it is also important in the eyes of Google and other search engines. One of the many factors for knowing whether they should rank you in a country specific search engine is dependent on your IP’s location as well as your domain name ending. By using a host in the country your site is serving you is sending one more indication to Google of where you should be ranked.
We have had plenty of customers at UK2 who came to us from USA based hosting and after they started using our servers which are in the United Kingdom they found that conversions increased and they had lower shopping cart abandonment rates. Which when you are running an online store are two very key factors. This is also why we offer our customers dedicated server hosting in both the United Kingdom and USA, we want to be able to give them the best of both worlds.

I am currently on a shared hosting paying a typical $7/month. The traffic of my website is increasing at a rapid rate and sometime twice or thrice in a month, I get those cpu exceeded errors. I'm running just 4-5 plugins on my website, nothing much and the sponsors ads are hosted on 3rd party sites to reduce the server load.
About my website:
It is a gadget site running on wordpress software with mysql db now exceeding 22MB. My monthly bandwidth goes near 80GB. Currently I get 6000-7000 visitors in a day and I've some future plans which will make it to 10000+ in coming months.
What do you guys say? To go in for VPS or still remain with shared hosting?
If you say that I must go for VPS, then which is the cheapest and most reliable VPS. My budget for my website is upto $20/month
