One of the most effective approaches to restrict the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of the people which must not be able to open it. There are many reasons to do this. For instance, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your website, or you could restrict the access for a whole state. You can even block IP addresses in case you detect that there are way too many Internet browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left within your websites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In any of these cases, the traffic is most probably fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any questionable IP address, in order to be on the safe side. In this way, you shall also steer clear of the possibility of your web server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Website Hosting

Our cloud website hosting services come with an IP blocking tool, so if you'd like to restrict the access to your Internet sites, you'll be able to do so with several mouse clicks. The tool is provided with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and that's very simple to use. As soon as you log in and visit the IP blocking section, you'll just have to select a domain or a subdomain hosted inside the account and enter the IP address which should be blocked. Our system enables you to block entire networks also, so if you type in 123.123.123., for example, this'll block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your sites. If you would like to whitelist an IP at some point, you'll be able to unblock it with just a click from the same section.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts feature a really simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that will permit you to restrict individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your Internet sites with no more thana couple of clicks and you shall not have any difficulties to do that even if that's your first web hosting account. When you go to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you'll only have to choose the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then type the IP address inside a box that you'll see there and you will be all set. To prohibit the access for an entire network, you must leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you enter 123.123. and don't type anything inside the third and fourth positions, our hosting server shall deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
