One of the most reliable approaches to limit the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of the individuals which should not be able to open it. There are several reasons to do this. For instance, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you could restrict the access for a whole country. You may also block IP addresses if you discover that there are way too many Internet browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left in your sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In each of these cases, the traffic is most likely fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any questionable IP address, to be on the safe side. This way, you will also stay away from the chance of your hosting server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Web Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the innovative Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all web hosting accounts. It'll enable you to block addresses with simply a few mouse clicks. No coding abilities are necessary, due to the fact that you'll use an intuitive interface - you simply need to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added in the very same section and whitelisting each of them will take only a mouse click. If you notice your Internet site is being flooded by numerous IPs, you will be able to block an entire IP range as well. This may be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you need to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you only have to input 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts feature a very simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll enable you to restrict individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your websites with no more thana few clicks and you will not have any difficulties to do that even if that is your first hosting account. As soon as you navigate to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you'll just have to pick the domain or subdomain you want from a drop-down list, then type in the IP address within a box that you'll see there and you will be ready. To restrict the access for an entire network, you will need to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you input 123.123. and don't type anything inside 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.
