One of the most productive approaches to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of those that must not be able to open it. There are numerous good reasons to do that. As an example, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your site, or you may restrict the access for an entire country. You may also block IP addresses in case you discover that there are lots of browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left in your websites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In all of these situations, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any questionable IP address, so as to be on the safe side. Thus, you'll also steer clear of the chance of your hosting server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.
IP Blocking in Shared Website Hosting
If you have a shared website hosting account with our company and you wish to block one or several IP addresses, you could use the IP Blocking tool, that is included in our in-house built Hepsia CP. By using a rather simple interface, you are able to restrict any IP from accessing your content even if you have not had a web hosting account before. All it takes to complete this is to log inside to your CP, to visit the IP Blocking section, to select a specific domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to type in the IP address. You simply won't need to do anything challenging if you wish to block a whole network - you'll simply have 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 in the exact same section, so you'll be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with simply a click.
IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers
You shall be able to block IP addresses easily and stop the undesirable traffic to any website hosted in a semi-dedicated server account with our company, because we offer you a rather easy-to-use tool to do that, that is offered with our Hepsia hosting CP. Even if you have not tackled this sort of matters in the past, you will not have any difficulties, considering that our tool includes a very user-friendly interface. Once you visit the IP blocking section of the CP, you shall find a full list of all the domains and subdomains which you have added within the Hosted Domains section. All you need to do to block an IP address is select the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then enter the IP in the box below. The change shall take effect instantly, so you'll not get any traffic from this address in the future. Removing an IP from the blocked list is just as uncomplicated.
