One of the most reliable approaches to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of individuals which mustn't be able to open it. There are several reasons why you should do this. For instance, you may want a specific individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you may restrict the access for a whole nation. You can also block IP addresses in case you discover that there are too many Internet browser requests from them, if a large number of spam comments are left in your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In any of these cases, the traffic is most likely fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any suspicious IP address, to be on the safe side. Thus, you will also prevent the chance of your hosting server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Web Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the advanced Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all cloud web hosting accounts. It shall permit you to block addresses with just several clicks. No coding skills are needed, as you'll use an intuitive interface - you just have to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type in the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added within the exact same section and whitelisting each of them shall take just a click. If you notice your Internet site is being flooded by various IPs, you'll be able to block a whole IP range too. This can be performed 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 type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts include a rather simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that will enable you to prohibit individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your sites with onlya couple of mouse clicks and you won't have any troubles to achieve that even if that's your first website hosting account. As soon as you navigate to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will just need to choose the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then input the IP address within a box that you'll see there and you will be all set. To restrict the access for an entire network, you will need to leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you type 123.123. and do not input anything within the third and fourth positions, our web server will deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
