One of the most productive methods to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of individuals that should not be able to open it. There are various reasons to do this. As an illustration, you may want a certain individual not to be able to see your site, or you may limit the access for an entire nation. You may also block IP addresses if you discover that there are too many browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left on your websites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In all of these scenarios, the traffic is most likely fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any questionable IP address, in order to be on the safe side. Thus, you will also prevent the prospect of your hosting server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the ground breaking Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all shared hosting accounts. It will permit you to block addresses with simply a few clicks. No coding abilities are needed, as you will use an intuitive interface - you just need to select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses you have added within the exact same section and whitelisting any of them will take simply a mouse click. If you notice that your Internet site is being flooded by numerous IPs, you'll be able to block a whole IP range as well. This can be performed by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you wish 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 include a really simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll permit you to restrict individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your Internet sites with onlya couple of mouse clicks and you shall not have any problems to accomplish that even if that is your first website hosting account. As soon as you visit the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you will simply have to pick the domain or subdomain in question from a drop-down list, then type the IP address within a box that you will see there and you will be good to go. To restrict the access for a whole network, you have to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you type in 123.123. and do not type in anything in the third and fourth positions, our hosting server will deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
