How can I make it more difficult for a user to create multiple accounts in my website?

I would like to know the best way to increase security on a website so that the a single user can't create multiple accounts.

What all of a user can be traced? I'm thinking:

  • IP address
  • Mac address
  • Browser details
  • Computer name and its details
I know an IP address can be spoofed but is there a work around to still identify a banned user? Maybe a combination of IP, MAC, and computer details?

Can we ban users on the basis of their MAC address? Is there any other way to trace them to stop them creating multiple accounts?
