One of the most productive approaches to limit the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of the people that should not be able to open it. There are numerous reasons to do this. As an illustration, you may want a particular individual not to be able to see your site, or you could restrict the access for a whole nation. You may also block IP addresses in case you discover that there are way too many web browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left in your websites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In any of these situations, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any shady IP address, in order to be on the safe side. Thus, you will also steer clear of the chance of your web server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.

IP Blocking in Web Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the revolutionary Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all web hosting accounts. It shall allow you to block addresses with just a couple of mouse clicks. No coding abilities are necessary, because you will use an intuitive interface - you just have to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added inside the same section and whitelisting any of them shall take only a mouse click. If you notice your Internet site is being flooded by various IPs, you will be able to block a whole IP range as well. This can be done by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you would like to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you basically have to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with a really simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that will permit you to restrict individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your websites with onlya few clicks and you will not have any issues to accomplish that even if this is your first website hosting account. When you check out the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will simply have to pick the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then type in the IP address in a box which you'll see there and you will be all set. To restrict the access for an entire network, you need to leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you enter 123.123. and don't type 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.
