One of the most efficient approaches to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of those which must not be able to open it. There are many good reasons to do that. For instance, you may want a specific person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you may limit the access for an entire state. You can even block IP addresses if you notice that there are too many Internet browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left on your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In any of these cases, the traffic is most likely fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any shady IP address, to be on the safe side. This way, you'll also stay away from the possibility of your hosting server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

If you have a cloud hosting account with us and you wish to block one or a few IP addresses, you can use the IP Blocking tool, that's incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. Using a pretty simple interface, you could stop any IP from accessing your content even if you have not had a web hosting account before. All it takes to complete that is to log inside to your Control Panel, 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'll not have to do anything complicated if you'd like to block an entire network - you'll just 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 will be listed inside the very same section, so you shall be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with just a mouse click.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your websites inside a semi-dedicated server account with us and you need to block one or numerous IP addresses at some point, you could benefit from the easy-to-use blocking tool, that we've included in our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With only several mouse clicks, you shall be able to block certain IPs or whole ranges, if required. All you will need to do is choose any of your domains or subdomains from a drop-down menu, decide if the blocking should be valid for the root folder or for a subfolder that's part of the Internet site, and then type the IP address that you would like to block. For an IP range, you only have to omit the last octet or the last two octets of the address with regards to the size of the network which you want to block. All the addresses you have restricted will be listed inside the very same section and if you would like to whitelist any of them, you shall be able to do it with only a click at any time.
