One of the most productive methods to limit the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of those that should not be able to open it. There are many reasons why you should do that. As an illustration, you may want a specific individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you could restrict the access for an entire state. You may also block IP addresses in case you discover that there are way too many Internet browser requests from them, if a lot 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 shady IP address, in order to be on the safe side. In this way, you will also prevent the chance of your server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Website Hosting

If you purchase a website hosting plan from our company, you will be able to see detailed traffic statistics for all of your Internet sites and if you notice that a considerable amount of the visits to each of them aren't real, you are able to block the IP addresses that have produced the most traffic through our IP Blocking tool. The interface is really simple - pick the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down list, then type in the IP address you want to block and save the change. All of the addresses which you have blacklisted shall appear inside the very same section of the CP, so you're able to always remove any one of them and allow it to access your site again. You'll be able to block whole IP ranges via the tool also - you just have to leave 1 or 2 octets from the address blank. For instance, entering 1.2.3. will block all 254 IPs from 1.2.3.1 to 1.2.3.255.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with a really simple-to-use IP blocking tool, which will allow you to prohibit individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your sites with no more thanseveral mouse clicks and you shall not have any troubles to do that even if this is your first web hosting account. Once you navigate to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll just have to select the domain or subdomain you want from a drop-down list, then enter the IP address within a box that you will see there and you will be good to go. To restrict the access for an entire network, you'll have to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you type in 123.123. and don't type 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.
