One of the most productive ways to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of the individuals that must not be able to open it. There are several reasons why you should do this. As an illustration, you may want a certain individual not to be able to see your website, or you may restrict the access for an entire nation. You can also block IP addresses in case you notice 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 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 prevent the prospect of your web server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the innovative Hepsia hosting CP, provided with all shared hosting accounts. It shall enable you to block addresses with just a few clicks. No coding skills are required, as you'll use an intuitive interface - you simply need to select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added in the same section and whitelisting any of them shall take only a mouse click. If you notice your website is being flooded by various IPs, you'll be able to block a whole IP range too. This can be done 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 simply have to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts feature a rather simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll permit you to prohibit individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your sites with simplya few clicks and you won't have any troubles to do that even if that is your first hosting account. As soon as you go to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you'll only need to choose the domain or subdomain in question from a drop-down list, then enter the IP address inside a box that you will 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 input 123.123. and do not enter 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.
