Website for Certain IP Addresses or Email Addresses

pepe_starr · #1 May 4th, 2006, 15:52

Hi everyone

Is there any free software anywhere which you can add into your HTML or website which allows only people with certain email addresses or IP addresses to view the site?

Many Thanks

You could right a javascript function that did that

Javascript can be disabled via the browser so that isnt the most air tight solution.

You should go for a server side one. Such as PHP or ASP

Depending on your hosting pakage and the controls available to you, you might find you can specify IP filtering from within your control panel.

My account won't let me have that option. Does anyone know any free server which lets you pick who views your website or not?

By enlarge, you gets what you pay for. Sounds like it's time to start paying and these days there are some really good deals around.

You might want to check out what people are saying about different hosting services before you make your move.

A secure way of restricting access by IP address is to use htaccess.
See http://www.yorku.ca/computng/student...cess.html#host for more information. It fairly easy to do, and can be applies to specific parts of the site.

As for email addresses, you'd need to use a server side scripting language (PHP,JSP,ASP...) for secure restriction - logging on using email address and password.

You could use htpasswd and htaccess to only allows access to parts of the site if people have the correct password. Only works on an apache server though.
