One of the most effective methods to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of those that should not be able to open it. There are several reasons to do that. For example, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your website, or you may limit the access for an entire nation. You may also block IP addresses in case you detect that there are lots of browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left within your websites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In any of these scenarios, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any suspicious IP address, in order to be on the safe side. Thus, you shall also avoid the prospect of your hosting server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the innovative Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all shared hosting accounts. It will permit you to block addresses with simply a few clicks. No coding abilities are necessary, as you'll use an intuitive interface - you simply need to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses you have added in the exact same section and whitelisting each of them will take only a mouse click. If you notice that your site is being flooded by numerous IPs, you will be able to block a whole IP range as well. This can be done by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you want to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you simply have to input 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts include a quite simple-to-use IP blocking tool, which will permit you to restrict individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your Internet sites with justa couple of mouse clicks and you shall not have any problems to accomplish that even if this is your first web hosting account. Once you visit the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will simply have to pick the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then input the IP address in a box that you will see there and you will be all set. To prohibit the access for an entire network, you'll have to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you input 123.123. and do not type anything in 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.
