how do I block other countries from viewing my site?

[3xalady]

I am using frontpage 2003. Is there a way to block certain ISP's or whole
countries from viewing my website? My website is marketed to a specific
region within the U.S. Just about every International veiwer spams or sends
scam E-mails to my customers.

Not feasible for an unrestricted Internet site.

To restrict access, you could require authentication with a login in
order to view content or have your site on a VPN.

If the concern is only spam: do not list any email addresses on your
site. If you want to receive email as a result of you site, you could
provide online forms that generate the email and do not display email
addresses. if you need to list email address on the seite, disguise the
email address in graphics, with special characters and or javascript.

The host can block IP ranges in IIS.

True, but you can find the IP blocks by country ;-)

go with a hosting company that has countryhawk installed
http://www.cyscape.com/products/country/intro.asp

www.alentus.com does I think

or buy countryhawk

it wont be 100% accurate but it will probably do what you want

 

[Kevin Spencer]

Well, I suppose that might help.
