One of the most efficient methods to limit the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of the individuals which mustn't be able to open it. There are several good reasons to do this. For instance, you may want a particular individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you may restrict the access for a whole country. You can also block IP addresses if you discover that there are lots of browser requests from them, if a large number of spam comments are left on your sites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In any of these scenarios, 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 web server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Web Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is included with the innovative Hepsia hosting CP, provided with all web hosting accounts. It'll permit you to block addresses with only several clicks. No coding skills are needed, because you'll use an intuitive interface - you just need to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address you want to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added inside the very same section and whitelisting any of them shall take simply a click. If you notice your website is being flooded by various IPs, you shall be able to block a whole IP range too. This could be done by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you need to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you only have to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with a really simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll permit you to restrict individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your websites with simplya couple of mouse clicks and you won't have any difficulties to accomplish that even if this is your first hosting account. Once you navigate to 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 input the IP address in a box which you'll see there and you will be all set. To limit the access for a whole network, you must leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you enter 123.123. and do not input anything within the third and fourth positions, our server will deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
