One of the most productive ways to limit the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the individuals that mustn't be able to open it. There are various good reasons to do that. For example, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your website, or you may restrict the access for a whole nation. You can also block IP addresses in case you detect that there are way too many browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left within your Internet sites 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 can safely block any questionable IP address, to be on the safe side. This way, you shall also stay away from the chance of your server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Web Hosting

If you have a web hosting account with us and you wish to block one or several IP addresses, you can use the IP Blocking tool, which is 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 not had a web hosting account before. All it takes to perform this is to log within to your CP, to check out the IP Blocking section, to pick a certain domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to input the IP address. You simply won't have to do anything difficult if you would like to block an entire network - you'll simply have 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 inside the same section, so you shall be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with a click.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You shall be able to block IP addresses effortlessly and stop the unwelcome traffic to any Internet site hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account with our company, as we offer you a very easy-to-use tool to do that, which is offered with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you have never dealt with this sort of matters in the past, you won't have any difficulties, considering that our tool has a very user-friendly interface. When you check out the IP blocking section of the CP, you'll find a comprehensive list of all the domains and subdomains you have added inside the Hosted Domains section. What you need to do to block an IP address is choose the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then type in the IP in the box below. The change shall take effect straightaway, so you will not get any traffic from this address in the future. Taking away an IP from the blocked list is equally easy.
