One of the most reliable approaches to limit the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of individuals which must not be able to open it. There are numerous good reasons to do that. For instance, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can limit the access for an entire state. You can also block IP addresses if you discover that there are too many Internet browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left on your websites or if a script login page has been loaded a large number of times. In all of these cases, the traffic is most likely fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any suspicious IP address, in order to be on the safe side. Thus, you shall also avoid the prospect of your hosting server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Shared Web Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the advanced Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all shared web hosting accounts. It shall allow you to block addresses with only several mouse clicks. No coding abilities are required, since you'll use an intuitive interface - you need to simply choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you want to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added in the same section and whitelisting any of them shall take simply a mouse click. If you notice your site is being flooded by different IPs, you will be able to block an entire IP range too. This may be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you wish to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you basically have to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts feature a quite simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll enable you to prohibit individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your websites with simplyseveral mouse clicks and you will not have any issues to do that even if this is your first web hosting account. Once you check out the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will simply have to pick the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then type in the IP address in a box that you'll see there and you will be all set. To prohibit the access for a whole network, you'll have to leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you enter 123.123. and don't input anything inside 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.
