One of the most productive methods to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of those which shouldn't be able to open it. There are several reasons why you should do this. As an example, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you may limit the access for a whole state. You may also block IP addresses in case you notice that there are lots of web 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 a large number of times. In each of these situations, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any questionable IP address, in order to be on the safe side. That way, you will also prevent the chance of your hosting server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Website Hosting

If you have a website hosting account with our company and you would like to block one or a few IP addresses, you can use the IP Blocking tool, that's incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. By using a very simple interface, you could restrict 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 CP, to visit 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 won't need to do anything complicated if you wish to block an entire 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 full range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed within the exact same section, so you shall be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with a mouse click.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts include a very simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll enable you to prohibit individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your websites with justseveral mouse clicks and you will not have any issues to achieve that even if that is your first web hosting account. When you go to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll just have to select the domain or subdomain in question from a drop-down list, then type the IP address in a box that you will see there and you will be good to go. To restrict the access for an entire network, you need to leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you type 123.123. and do not type anything inside the third and fourth positions, our hosting server shall deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
