One of the most efficient approaches to limit the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of the people which mustn't be able to open it. There are numerous good reasons to do that. For example, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your site, or you could restrict the access for an entire nation. You could also block IP addresses in case you detect that there are too many web 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 a large number of times. In each of these cases, the traffic is most probably fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any suspicious IP address, so as to be on the safe side. Thus, you'll also steer clear of the prospect 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 several IP addresses, you could use the IP Blocking tool, that is incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia CP. Through a rather simple interface, you can restrict any IP from accessing your content even if you have never had a web hosting account before. All it requires to complete this is to log inside to your Control Panel, to go to the IP Blocking section, to select a specific domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to enter the IP address. You shall not have to do anything difficult if you would like to block a whole 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 entire range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs will be listed inside the exact same section, so you'll be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with simply a click.
