How to ban some countries from our sites

[RayBonga]

How do you redirect users from Nigeria, China, India, etc. to some alternative site/page?

I'm gussing I should just create some htacecss file but not sure how to do it

Add Turkey to your list as well when you find out how.

agreed ...

If you have a dedicated box, you can block whole countries thru the firewall ( not redirecting it to another page ).

Otherwise. .htaccess with the whole range of IP would do it ( including redirecting ).

IP of countries here
