Thanks! But I think IP check is not a good option: most of the internet providers are using shared IPs over NAT, so until we are not switched to IPv6, when everyone will have their own real IP, IP check is almost useless.

    Most of the Internet, does have a unique IP address. Indeed many are also NAT'd. But they too can be tracked uniquely. In the case of tracking IP's to your web site; the chances of your getting two people sharing an IP, are pretty slim. In fact, there are many ways, and Perl modules to get a visitors actual origin. But perhaps more involved, than you're willing to go for something like this.

    Best wishes.
