One of the most efficient approaches to limit the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of the people that shouldn't be able to open it. There are various good reasons to do this. As an example, you may want a specific person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can restrict the access for a whole country. You can also block IP addresses if you detect that there are too many web browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left on your sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In any 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, to be on the safe side. That way, you'll also prevent the prospect of your web server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

If you have a shared hosting account with us and you wish to block one or a number of IP addresses, you can use the IP Blocking tool, which is included in our in-house built Hepsia CP. By using a very simple interface, you could stop any IP from accessing your content even if you have never had a web hosting account before. All it requires to complete that is to log within to your CP, to check out the IP Blocking section, to select a certain domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to type in the IP address. You simply won't need to do anything complicated if you would like to block an entire 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 entire range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs will be listed within the same exact section, so you'll be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with simply a click.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts include a quite simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that will permit you to restrict individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your Internet sites with justa couple of mouse clicks and you will not have any issues to do that even if that's your first website hosting account. When you check out the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will just need to choose the domain or subdomain in question from a drop-down list, then enter the IP address within a box that you'll see there and you will be all set. To limit the access for a whole network, you will need to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you input 123.123. and do not enter 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.
