    Default Trying to stop a person/company from accessing my website

    This person/company is up to no good from what I see they're doing on my website (spminiatures.com)

    This is the information on the "whose online page"
    Host: ecs-101-44-249-182.compute.hwclouds-dns.com

    I have put in my htaccess file the following:
    deny from hwclouds
    deny from huaweicloud.com
    deny from hwclouds-dns.com
    deny from 101.44.248.0-101.44.251.255
    deny from 101-44-248-0-101-44-251-255

    Obviously I'm not sure of what I'm doing.

    Any thoughts?
    Thanks
    Carol

    Thank you. I was really looking for a simpler solution and I wondered why what I've done isn't working.

    Lots of wide-range IP addresses from (xxx.compute.hwclouds-dns.com) keep scanning my fresh-installed ZC v1.5.8, so I add this to .htaccess:

    <RequireAll>
    Require all granted
    Require not host compute.hwclouds-dns.com
    </RequireAll>

    My firewall only denies access from specific IP addresses, not domains, so I'm still looking for a way to work on the firewall side.

    Update:

    I collect about 100 IP addresses that try to scan my ZC from ecs-xxx.compute.hwclouds-dns.com, and figure out that all of them are from Singapore. Since I never have any customers from SG, I put my firewall to block all access from SG, and enjoy my coffeee.

    The host has a wildcard

    It's formatted like

    ecs-139-9-35-91.compute.hwclouds-dns.com

    Yes, I understand it's a wildcard.
    I don't know why someone(?) uses at least 100 different IP addresses to scan my ZC within an hour, and I'm uncomfortable with it, so I decide to block all connections from *.compute.hwclouds-dns.com

    Now I block all connections from Singapore from my firewall, not .htaccess.

    It's a public Internet service. The statement you supplied

    *.compute.hwclouds-dns.com

    Has not worked for me. Hosts are easily spoofed, you can literally send any host info your heart desires. The only effective way is to block their CIDR... which for the life of me I cannot find =(

    Just compute.hwclouds-dns.com
    don't put *. before it.

    I use it on apache v2.4 and it works.

    Is this the .htaccess file in the root folder for the zencart install ? I am also getting hammed by that domain (compute.hwclouds-dns.com). I am getting thousands of connections a day. I am also on dreamhost with a VPS. Please help. I added it to the .htaccess in root and i still see them adding random items in cart and then leaving. The access blocker plugin also seems to not stop them either. I have gone as far as blocking singapore via the plugin ,but i still see them trying to connect some how.
