This can be done, but it depends on the website content.
Wordpress probably isn't the best way to accomplish what you're
looking to do, but it can deffinitely be done. However, there is
one major flaw in your thinking here. If Joe Public wants to
share his account with joe public number 2, all he has to do is
subscribe to a VPN and give you that IP. then he shares his VPN
account with his friends in low places and, vala! Of course,
that is probably beyond the thinking of mos people out there.
But deffintely not to all.
If you want to talk to us about by all means get back to us
srivately and I'll put my thinking cap on.

Subject: Question about web site administration
So, here's the situation. I'm not gonna go into the details on
list
specifically, and if anyone on list does go into them, you'll
automatically
be denied a future account. Basically, I recently had to take
down a web
site I was hosting for reasons beyond my control. Well, ok,
fine, they were
to my control in that I chose in my disgression to take the site
down, but
that's neither here nor there. Bottom line is, the site went
down. It's
not your concern why or how. Just know it did. Anyway, the
point is, I
spoke with someone who will be completely under all circumstances
left
anonymous, who really badly wants to take over the web site. for
reasons I
don't wish to share publicly, this is not going to be an option,
and his
request has been denied to some degree of level. I say to some
degree
because of the reason I'm writing the list this morning.
Basically, here's the deal. When the site was running, it was
being powered
by the very newest version of WordPress which was being hosted on
a
CPanel/WHM server. What I'd like to maybe consider doing,
provided that
this is doable, is to set the site back up, reinstall Wordpress
on the
domain, but then, set it up in such of a way where no one under
any
circumstances whatsoever could access the web site unless they
had a user
name and a password. Furthermore, not only do I want them to
have to login,
but I also want to bind their access to their IP address. I
understand that
if they have a dynamic IP and it changes, they'd get blacklisted.
I'm
totally 100% aware of that. that is something however I'm very
much willing
to risk. I basically want to make this totally 100% a monthly
paid
subscription service. the reason I want to bind things to
people's IP's is
because, you darn well know that people're gonna try cheating the
system and
giving out their login to other people telling them, here, use
it, and keep
your mouth shut. I'm not about to let myself get cheated in this
manor.
Gordon, I know you and Lynn who moderate this list run servers as
well, such
as the one hosting this listserv. I'd even possibly be willing
to pay you
all monthly for hosting and that extra incryption if you think
you all could
set me something up. We'd have to talk about that off list
though. If the
privacy cannot be set through a Wordpress plugin, or through the
htaccess
file to do this, and, if in addition, I can't tie those accounts
to certain
IP addresses, whether that be through a web based control panel,
through a
firewall of some type, or through an SQL database that can be
managed
through a web interface, I will not be taking on this project.
I'm sorry,
but the stuff that I will be putting up is my own copy written
work, and
frankly, I'm not about to let it leak into the wrong people's
hands.
If there is any way to do this, and you all can tell me how to
make it
happen, I'll get started, as I don't really have anything else to
do today.
Otherwise, it's not gonna be happening.
Chris.
