1. Login to shell as root and go to the /etc directory
# cd /etc
2. View the contents of this directory.
# ls -a
3. You should have two files, one named hosts.allow and the other hosts.deny. Open the hosts.deny file using your favorite editor (I prefer vi).
# vi hosts.deny
4. On a new line, put ALL:ALL. This will disable all access to your system, best form of defense. Save the file and exist (for more information on how to us vi, type 'man vi' at the command prompt).
5. To allow certain users access, edit the hosts.allow file by adding the user's IP address.

I have been with ayksolutions for around 5 years and have been thoroughly impressed with them. All support tickets are answered within minutes, regardless of the time of day. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the support and services they provide. They are constantly doing crazy deals for servers as well. If you're looking for someone good and reliable to host with, from shared hosting to dedicated servers, I easily recommend ayksolutions.
AYK Solutions has been the server for my website for 8 or 9 years, and in all that time I have gotten nothing but expeditious, professional, friendly, and excellent service from them. I am being honest about this. They have my highest recommendations.
good service/support We have been with AYK for years. Good pricing/support. No complaints.
