One of the most reliable ways to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the people which must not be able to open it. There are various reasons to do that. As an example, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your website, or you could restrict the access for a whole country. You could also block IP addresses if you notice that there are lots of 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 many times. In any of these cases, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any suspicious IP address, in order to be on the safe side. That way, you shall also prevent the possibility of your hosting server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Hosting

If you have a hosting account with us and you would like to block one or several IP addresses, you could use the IP Blocking tool, that's incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia CP. Through a pretty simple interface, you'll be able to prevent any IP from accessing your content even if you have not had a web hosting account before. All it takes to perform this is to log in 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 input the IP address. You simply won't have to do anything difficult if you would like to block a whole network - you will just need to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot shall block the full range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed in the exact same section, so you'll be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with only a click.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

You will be able to block IP addresses easily and stop the undesirable traffic to any website hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account with us, since we offer you a very easy-to-use tool to do that, that's offered with our Hepsia hosting CP. Even if you have not dealt with this kind of problems in the past, you won't have any difficulties, considering that our tool features a very user-friendly interface. Once you visit the IP blocking section of the CP, you'll find a comprehensive list of all the domains and subdomains that you've added within 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 input the IP inside the box below. The change shall take effect right away, so you will not get any traffic from this address in the future. Taking away an IP from the blocked list is equally simple.
