How do I block an entire domain name using htaccess?

Your question is a bit ambiguous.
Do you want to block...
a domain (ie. hostname) from visiting your site?
all visitors on a certain domain?
a certain domain (ie. website) that links to content on your site?

Good news: all these things can be done using .htaccess. But you need to be slightly more specific with your question.

I want to block a domain and all subdomains. I have found out there is another complication. The subdomains each have a different IP address. Say the domain is domain.com with IP = 100.30.41.54 and someone on a subdomain of that domain is test.domain.com with IP = 94.10.100.40. These hypothetical IP addresses. Well htaccess would block domain.com but not subdomain.com if I use deny from domain.com.

I, like ClickFanatic, don't get what you are trying to do.

I keep getting a bunch of web requests from bots at different IP but they are on the same domain. They are on different subdomains. I am also getting more bots now.

There are several ways to block a set of hostnames. Could you be more specific in how you wish to block them? Do you want to show a page why they were blocked or simply throw an error?

Could you show both ways?

I have already tried that and it didn't work because they have different IP addresses. Would the following work better?

deny from rr.com should in theory block all the connections comming from roadrunner. You could try that though.

Would the rewrite method work?

In theory it should work fine. Never really tried to block it that way to be honest.

It seems the rewriterule is working like a charm.

Hi from a newbie everyone!!!!!

Just wanted to give you my input on this.. HTACCESS is one way to go but the best way for blocking IP's in is your Cpanel or depending on what platform you are on using a module to block it..
