One of the most productive ways to restrict the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of those which shouldn't be able to open it. There are various reasons why you should do this. As an illustration, you may want a particular individual not to be able to see your site, or you could limit the access for a whole country. You may also block IP addresses if you detect that there are too many web browser requests from them, if a large number of spam comments are left on your sites or if a script login page has been loaded a large number of times. In all of these cases, the traffic is almost certainly 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'll also stay away from the possibility of your web server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Shared Website Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the ground breaking Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all shared website hosting accounts. It shall permit you to block addresses with just a couple of mouse clicks. No coding abilities are needed, because you'll use an intuitive interface - you need to simply choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you want to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added within the very same section and whitelisting any of them shall take just a mouse click. If you notice that your website is being flooded by numerous IPs, you'll be able to block a whole IP range too. This can 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 only have to input 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with a rather simple-to-use IP blocking tool, which will permit you to prohibit individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your Internet sites with no more thana few clicks and you will not have any issues to do that even if this is your first hosting account. Once you check out the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you'll only need to choose the domain or subdomain in question from a drop-down list, then input the IP address in a box which you'll see there and you will be all set. To prohibit the access for a whole network, you need to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you enter 123.123. and don't enter anything in the third and fourth positions, our hosting server shall deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
