One of the most reliable ways to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the individuals which mustn't be able to open it. There are various good reasons to do this. As an illustration, you may want a particular individual not to be able to see your website, or you could limit the access for a whole nation. You can also block IP addresses in case you discover that there are way too many web browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left in your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In all of these scenarios, 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 shall also avoid the chance of your hosting server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Web Hosting

If you have a web hosting account with our company and you wish to block one or a few IP addresses, you could use the IP Blocking tool, that is integrated into our in-house built Hepsia CP. Using a pretty simple interface, you could stop any IP from accessing your content even if you have never had a web hosting account before. All it requires to complete this is to log in to your CP, to go to the IP Blocking section, to select a specific domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to enter the IP address. You simply won't need to do anything difficult if you'd like to block an entire 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 will be listed in the very same section, so you'll be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with only a click.
