One of the most efficient approaches to restrict the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of the people which shouldn't be able to open it. There are several reasons to do that. As an example, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your site, or you can limit the access for an entire nation. You can even block IP addresses in case you notice that there are lots of browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left on your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In each of these scenarios, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any suspicious IP address, in order to be on the safe side. Thus, you'll also steer clear of the chance of your web server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Website Hosting

If you have a website hosting account with our company and you wish to block one or a few IP addresses, you could use the IP Blocking tool, that's included in our in-house built Hepsia CP. Through a rather simple interface, you'll be able to stop any IP from accessing your content even if you have never had a web hosting account before. All it requires to complete that is to log in to your Control Panel, to go to the IP Blocking section, to pick a specific domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to input the IP address. You shall not have to do anything complicated if you wish to block an entire network - you will just need to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot will block the full range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed within the very same section, so you shall be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with only a click.

Even if you haven't tackled this kind of problems in the past, you shall not have any difficulties, considering that our tool provides a very user-friendly interface. As soon as you go to the IP blocking section of the Control Panel, you shall find a complete list of all the domains and subdomains that you've added within the Hosted Domains section. All you need to do to block an IP address is pick the desired domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and type in the IP within the box below. The change will take effect instantly, so you'll not get any traffic from this address in the future. Taking away an IP from the blocked list is equally quick.
