One of the most effective methods to limit the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of those which must not be able to open it. There are several reasons to do this. As an example, you may want a particular individual not to be able to see your site, or you may restrict the access for an entire state. You may also block IP addresses if you notice that there are lots of web browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left on your websites or if a script login page has been loaded a large number of times. In any of these scenarios, the traffic is most likely fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any questionable IP address, to be on the safe side. That way, you'll also avoid the prospect of your web server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.
IP Blocking in Shared Website Hosting
If you have a shared website hosting account with us and you want to block one or a number of IP addresses, you can use the IP Blocking tool, which is integrated into our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. By using a really simple interface, you can prevent any IP from accessing your content even if you have never had a web hosting account before. All it requires to do this is to log in 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 input the IP address. You won't need to do anything complicated if you'd like to block a whole network - you will simply have 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 within the same section, so you shall be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with only a click.
IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers
You'll be able to block IP addresses easily and stop the unwelcome traffic to any site hosted within a semi-dedicated server account with us, because we offer a very easy-to-use tool to do that, that is part of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you have never tackled this sort of issues in the past, you will not have any difficulties, as our tool has a very user-friendly interface. As soon as you go to the IP blocking section of the Control Panel, you will find a comprehensive list of all the domains and subdomains that you have added within the Hosted Domains section. All you have to do to block an IP address is choose the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then type in the IP inside the box below. The change will take effect at once, so you will not get any traffic from this address in the future. Removing an IP from the blocked list is just as quick.
