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 numerous good reasons to do this. As an example, you may want a certain individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can limit the access for a whole state. You may also block IP addresses in case you detect that there are lots of browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left within your websites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous 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 suspicious IP address, in order to be on the safe side. That way, you'll also avoid the chance of your web server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

If you have a cloud hosting account with our company and you wish to block one or a number of IP addresses, you could use the IP Blocking tool, that's incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia CP. Using a pretty simple interface, you could prevent any IP from accessing your content even if you have never had a web hosting account before. All it takes to complete this is to log in to your CP, to visit the IP Blocking section, to pick a specific domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to enter the IP address. You will not need to do anything complex if you wish to block a whole network - you'll just need to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot will block the entire range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed inside the very same section, so you'll be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with just a click.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with a really simple-to-use IP blocking tool, which will permit you to prohibit individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your sites with no more thana few clicks and you will not have any problems to accomplish that even if that is your first web hosting account. As soon as you visit the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you'll only need to pick the domain or subdomain you want from a drop-down list, then enter the IP address inside a box that you will see there and you will be good to go. To limit the access for a whole network, you have to leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you input 123.123. and do not enter 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.
