    Hello Everyone,

    I got a simple .htaccess to block a domain, hound (dot) com, however I heard that a simple domain block reduces server efficiency. I was stripped of a few gigs of bw in a couple of days from this site, and want to not effect good users. Is there a simple/efficient way to block access from a domain?

    if you don't want to do it via .htaccess as you have done, you'd need to block it at firewall level depending on your server config.

    Thx,

    I only have access to .htaccess, so it there a right way or a wrong way to block a whole domain? Speed is of course an issue.
