Deny ALL IP addresses

You can also set an option for deny from all, which will deny everyone.
This must be done by coding your .htaccess file as follows:

deny from all

allow from 70.24.291.52

allow from 216.130.49.223 #my house

Note: It is possible to block access to yourself accidentally by using this method.
Be sure to allow access via your IP otherwise you will be blocked as well.

If you get blocked from the server, you can always contact Servers Australia and we will happily remove the block.
