Hi, is there way to block an IP address from accesing my site? I don't think the htaccess file or whatever it is works on freewebs because i don't have a domainname

I do believe that the .htaccess file is the only way to block someone's IP address from your site.

Does that mean i'll have to buy a domain name or will it work on freewebs?

Am i right in thinking it's just a note pad document with the deny from thing in?

For the most part, it is a notepad document with the block thingie inside of it. And I don't think it's just the domain name that you'd have to buy, but the webspace itself that you have to buy, because the web server has to support it, and I don't think that freewebs supports the .htaccess document.

Is there a certain thing that a web server has to allow to allow the use of the ht.access file?

The certain thing that the webserver has to allow is the .htaccess file.

Riiiiiight, thanks..

No problem. I hope you get your person-blocking-problem resolved. :)

.htaccess works on my site and I don't have a domain name...

some hosts allow it, some don't :) most don't however, but might be that there are a few that do allow it.

An alternative could be getting hosted :) in this way you can use the same things as the owner of the domain, you are hosted for free and no ads :) (atleast if the owner of the domain paid for the right package offcourse :P )

Does anyone know if Geocities supports the htaccess file? I'm also looking into banning an IP address. Your help would be appricated.

try www.pick-me.net or browse through several domains. They often have a "hosting" subpage where you can fill in a form to apply for getting hosted on that certain domain. :)
