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 numerous reasons to 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 country. You can also block IP addresses in case you discover that there are lots of web browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left on your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded a large number of times. In all of these cases, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any questionable IP address, so as to be on the safe side. In this way, you will also avoid the chance of your hosting server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

Our Linux cloud hosting provide an IP blocking tool, so if you want to restrict the access to your Internet sites, it shall be able to do this with a few mouse clicks. The tool is included with the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts and that is quite simple to use. When you log in and go to the IP blocking section, you will just have to pick a domain or a subdomain hosted within the account and type the IP address that should be blocked. Our system will enable you to block entire networks also, so if you input 123.123.123., for instance, this shall block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your Internet sites. In case you want to whitelist an IP at some point, you can unblock it with simply a mouse click from the same section.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts include a really simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll permit you to prohibit individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your Internet sites with simplya few clicks and you won't have any issues to accomplish that even if this is your first web hosting account. Once you go to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll just have to select the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then type the IP address in a box that you'll see there and you will be all set. To restrict the access for an entire network, you'll have to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you type 123.123. and do not type anything in the third and fourth positions, our hosting server will deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
