One of the most productive approaches to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the people that must not be able to open it. There are several reasons to do that. As an illustration, you may want a specific individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you could limit the access for an entire country. You can even block IP addresses if you detect that there are way too many web browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left on your websites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In any of these cases, the traffic is most probably fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any suspicious IP address, so as to be on the safe side. Thus, you shall also stay away from the possibility of your web server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Hosting

If you have a hosting account with our company and you want to block one or a few IP addresses, you could use the IP Blocking tool, that is integrated into our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. By using a rather simple interface, you can prevent any IP from accessing your content even if you have not had a web hosting account before. All it requires to perform this is to log within to your CP, to navigate to the IP Blocking section, to pick a specific domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to enter the IP address. You won't have to do anything difficult if you'd like to block a whole network - you'll just need to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot shall block the whole range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs will be listed in the same exact section, so you shall be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with simply a click.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to block IP addresses without difficulty and stop the undesirable traffic to any website hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account with us, since we provide a very easy-to-use tool to do that, which is offered with our Hepsia hosting CP. Even if you have never addressed this type of matters in the past, you will not have any difficulties, since our tool features a very user-friendly interface. As soon as you navigate to the IP blocking section of the CP, you'll find a full list of all the domains and subdomains that you have added inside the Hosted Domains section. What you need to do to block an IP address is select the desired domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then enter the IP inside the box below. The change will take effect at once, so you will not get any traffic from this address in the future. Removing an IP from the blocked list is equally easy.
