One of the most productive methods to limit the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of the people that mustn't be able to open it. There are many good reasons to do this. As an illustration, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you may restrict the access for a whole state. You can also block IP addresses in case you detect that there are way too many Internet browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left on your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded many 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, so as to be on the safe side. That way, you will also avoid the chance of your web server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Hosting

If you have a hosting account with our company and you would like to block one or a number of IP addresses, you may use the IP Blocking tool, which is incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. By using a very simple interface, you can stop any IP from accessing your content even if you have not had a web hosting account before. All it takes to do this is to log in to your CP, to visit the IP Blocking section, to choose a particular domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to input the IP address. You shall not have to do anything complex if you would like to block an entire network - you'll just need to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot will block the whole range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed in the exact same section, so you'll be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with just a click.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with a rather simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll permit you to restrict individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your sites with simplya couple of clicks and you won't have any problems to achieve that even if this is your first hosting account. As soon as you visit the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will simply have to choose the domain or subdomain you want from a drop-down list, then type in the IP address in a box which you'll see there and you will be ready. To limit the access for an entire network, you need to leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you type in 123.123. and do not type in anything in the third and fourth positions, our server will deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
