To secure your admin area from hackers, we recommend that you allow access only from a selected IP address to your admin directory. You need to create a .htaccess file in the directory where you want to restrict access to specific IP addresses.

For example, if you have ...

If someone is trying to hack your website or you want to block their IP Address, you can add this line to your .htaccess file.
order allow, deny
deny from IP-ADDRESS
allow from all

Replace "IP-ADDRESS" with the IP Address you want to block.

For security purposes, we recommend that you disable directory browsing on your website so no one can see the files/folders of your website.

You can disable Directory Browsing by adding this line to your .htaccess file.
Options -Indexes

For security purposes, we recommend you to prevent access to your .htaccess file from unauthorized access.

Add this code to your .htaccess file:
# .htaccess protection

order allow, deny
deny from all
satisfy all
