One of the most productive methods to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of individuals which shouldn't be able to open it. There are numerous good reasons to do this. For example, you may want a certain individual not to be able to see your site, or you could restrict the access for an entire country. You can even block IP addresses in case you notice that there are way too many web browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left within your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded a large number of times. In each of these situations, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any suspicious IP address, so as to be on the safe side. In this way, you will also steer clear of the prospect of your hosting server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.
IP Blocking in Shared Hosting
Our IP Blocking tool is part of the advanced Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared hosting accounts. It shall allow you to block addresses with simply a few mouse clicks. No coding skills are necessary, as you shall use an intuitive interface - you just have to select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type in the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added in the very same section and whitelisting each of them will take simply a click. If you notice your website is being flooded by numerous IPs, you'll be able to block a whole IP range also. This may be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you would like to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you simply need to type in 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, which will allow you to prohibit individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your websites with justa couple of clicks and you will not have any difficulties to do that even if this is your first hosting account. Once you go to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will just have to choose the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then input the IP address inside a box that you'll see there and you will be good to go. To limit the access for an entire network, you'll have to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you type 123.123. and do not type in anything within 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.
