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.
I recently switched to AYK Solutions from Softlayer for my dedicated server requirements. I received a much better specification server at significantly reduced cost from what Softlayer could offer me, with many of the previously 'extra' features at Softlayer included in the base price offered by AYK. The support was second to none, and they were extremely helpful in transferring all of my old server accounts over for no additional fee whatsoever.
We're Happy with our 1 Gigabit Server AYK Solutions! AYK Solutions provides all our back-end server infrastructure for our video streaming sites which burn up about 200 GB of data every day. I have had nothing less then 1 MB/second downloads from all the servers that I have had from them. Their technical support saved me several times, and their tech support is 24/7 and responsive. I currently have a Quad Xeon on a 1 gigE port for WAY LESS then any other dedicated server provider
