One of the most effective approaches to limit the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the individuals which must not be able to open it. There are various good reasons to do that. As an illustration, you may want a specific individual not to be able to see your site, or you could limit the access for a whole nation. You can also block IP addresses if you detect that there are way too many Internet browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left in your sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In all of these situations, the traffic is most probably fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any questionable IP address, in order to be on the safe side. That way, you shall also avoid the prospect of your hosting server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Web Hosting

If you have a web hosting account with our company and you want to block one or several IP addresses, you could use the IP Blocking tool, that is integrated into our in-house built Hepsia CP. Using a really simple interface, you could prevent any IP from accessing your content even if you have never had a web hosting account before. All it takes to perform this is to log inside to your Control Panel, to go to the IP Blocking section, to pick a particular domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to type in the IP address. You shall not need to do anything complicated if you wish to block a whole network - you will just have 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 will be listed within the exact same section, so you'll be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with simply a mouse click.
