Hi there! Yes, Hostinger primarily uses Nginx as a web server. However, for Web Hosting and Cloud Hosting services, Hostinger provides a setup that allows the use of .htaccess files, which are typically used with Apache web server. To create an .htaccess file from your panel, go to Websites → Manage, search for File Manager on the sidebar and click on it ?

As I understand that hostinger uses ngix, but also allows to use htacces rules at same time?
Is it possible to restrict access to some files in directory by mask?
Thank you

Hey!

If you limit access to your website from a specific country, any visitor from that country will get an error while accessing your URL, website might still be visible in Google searches based on website’s indexing, however it will have no affect to website’s SEO, so your rankings in the allowed countries would not suffer.

For example: I have blocked UAE traffic so my website will not appear in Google UAE search engine right? & third thing is this affect my site ranking in other country search engine like Google USA?

I would like to know your thoughts.

Hey there! No worries! You can add the code to block IP addresses from a specific country near the end of your.htaccess file, under any other entries in the file ?

Hi there! When allowing an IP, make sure to have the line deny from all to block the rest of the traffic (step 6). Let me know how it goes for you!
