One of the most reliable methods to limit the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of the people which shouldn't be able to open it. There are several good reasons to do that. As an example, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you may restrict the access for a whole state. You could also block IP addresses if you discover that there are lots of browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left within your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In each of these situations, the traffic is most probably fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any suspicious IP address, in order to be on the safe side. In this way, you'll also steer clear of the possibility of your server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.

IP Blocking in Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is included with the ground breaking Hepsia hosting Control Panel, offered with all hosting accounts. It will permit you to block addresses with only a couple of mouse clicks. No coding abilities are necessary, due to the fact that you shall use an intuitive interface - you just need to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP address you want to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses that you've added in the same section and whitelisting each of them shall take only a mouse click. If you notice that your website is being flooded by numerous IPs, you'll be able to block an entire IP range also. This could be completed 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 basically have to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with a rather simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll permit you to restrict individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your sites with onlyseveral clicks and you will not have any difficulties to do that even if that is your first web hosting account. Once you go to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you'll just have to choose the domain or subdomain you want from a drop-down list, then type in the IP address in a box that you'll see there and you will be all set. To prohibit the access for a whole network, you'll have to leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you type 123.123. and do not input anything in the third and fourth positions, our server will deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
