htaccess allow IP addresses

If your website is under construction, you can simply edit .htaccess file to disallow visits to your website. Here is the code :

<Limit GET POST PUT>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 12.245.67.190
</Limit>

allow from 12.245.67.190 command allows access to your server only from 12.245.67.190 IP address.

You can allow more IP’s to access your website : <Limit GET POST PUT> order deny,allow deny from all allow from 12.245.67.190 allow from 12.245.67.192 </Limit> This practice is good in case you are modifying your website (performing a new joomla installation) and don’t want others to see the process.
