Deny a domain with htaccess?

 > Apache isn't an OS, is a web server...


I told you I knew nothing about Apache Blocking a domain doesn't work
and seems to be the wrong method to use here. I can't change the page but
wish I could.

I used this block referrer script and it's working but my stats tell me half
are being redirected and half are still downloading my page and bandwidth.
Not sure how to block or redirect everyone who's clicking my link from that
website?

htaccess can do many things. but this might be something you should talk
to your host about as it affects them as well. at the least they might be
able to help you set up what you need.

you can deny domains (deny from microsoft.com) and IP addresses (deny from
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). But, from what it sounds like the traffic is not coming
from that domain, people are just being directed to you via it. An example
would be those image search engines like google has. If your problem is
that people are linking to your images, or certain types of pages, you can
make it so that they will only be available when viewed directly from your
site.

Lastly, if it is only one page... maybe the simplest thing to do is to
change its name... and the links that way
