One of the most productive methods to restrict the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of individuals that should not be able to open it. There are many reasons why you should do that. For example, you may want a specific individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you may limit the access for an entire state. You could also block IP addresses in case you notice that there are way too many Internet browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left within your sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In all of these scenarios, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any shady IP address, in order to be on the safe side. Thus, you shall also stay away from the prospect of your server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Web Hosting

Our Linux web hosting provide an IP blocking tool, so in case you want to restrict the access to your sites, it shall be able to do so with only a few mouse clicks. The tool is part of the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts and that's a breeze to use. As soon as you log in and check out the IP blocking section, you shall just need to pick a domain or a subdomain hosted inside the account and input the IP address that needs to be blocked. Our system will allow you to block entire networks also, so if you type in 123.123.123., for instance, this'll block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your Internet sites. In case you wish to whitelist an IP at some point, you may unblock it with just a click from the same section.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts feature a really simple-to-use IP blocking tool, which will enable you to prohibit individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your websites with no more thana few clicks and you will not have any troubles to achieve that even if that's your first web hosting account. When you go to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will just have to pick the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then type in the IP address inside a box that you'll see there and you will be good to go. To restrict the access for a whole network, you must leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you enter 123.123. and do not input anything in 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.
