One of the most productive approaches to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the individuals which should not be able to open it. There are several reasons to do that. As an illustration, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your website, or you can restrict the access for a whole nation. You could also block IP addresses in case you discover that there are too many browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left on your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In any of these scenarios, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any questionable IP address, to be on the safe side. Thus, you shall also steer clear of the prospect of your hosting server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is included with the ground breaking Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared hosting accounts. It will enable you to block addresses with only several mouse clicks. No coding skills are needed, due to the fact that you'll use an intuitive interface - you just have to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP address you want to be blocked. You'll be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added inside the same section and whitelisting each of them will take only a click. If you notice your Internet site is being flooded by numerous IPs, you shall be able to block a whole IP range as well. This may be done by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you want to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you simply have to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts feature a really simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll enable you to restrict individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your Internet sites with no more thana few mouse 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 have to choose the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then type in the IP address in a box that you'll see there and you will be ready. To restrict the access for an entire network, you must leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you enter 123.123. and don't input anything inside the third and fourth positions, our server will deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
