One of the most reliable methods to restrict the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of individuals which must not be able to open it. There are many reasons to do that. As an illustration, you may want a specific individual not to be able to see your site, or you may restrict the access for an entire state. You could also block IP addresses in case you notice that there are too many web browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left within your websites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In any of these situations, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any questionable IP address, so as to be on the safe side. In this way, you shall also stay away from the possibility of your server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Web Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is included with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting Control Panel, offered with all cloud web hosting accounts. It shall allow you to block addresses with only a few mouse clicks. No coding skills are required, due to the fact that you shall use an intuitive interface - you just have to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP address you want to be blocked. You'll be able to see all the IP addresses you have added in the exact same section and whitelisting any of them will take just a click. If you notice that your website is being flooded by various IPs, you will be able to block an entire IP range also. This may be done by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you want to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you just have to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts feature a rather simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll allow you to restrict individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your Internet sites with no more thana few clicks and you shall not have any troubles to achieve that even if that's your first web hosting account. Once you navigate to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you will just have to choose the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then type the IP address in a box that you'll see there and you will be all set. To limit the access for a whole network, you will need to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you type 123.123. and do not input anything within the third and fourth positions, our server shall deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
