One of the most reliable methods to limit the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of individuals that shouldn't be able to open it. There are several good reasons to do this. As an example, you may want a certain individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can restrict the access for an entire country. You may also block IP addresses in case you detect that there are too many Internet browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left within your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded a large number of times. In all of these scenarios, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any suspicious IP address, to be on the safe side. Thus, you'll also steer clear of the possibility of your hosting server getting overloaded by many fake requests.
IP Blocking in Shared Website Hosting
Our Linux shared website hosting packages include an IP blocking tool, so in case you want to restrict the access to your sites, you will be able to do this with only a couple of mouse clicks. The tool is provided with the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts and which is very simple to use. Once you log in and navigate to the IP blocking section, you will just need to select a domain or a subdomain hosted inside the account and enter the IP address that needs to be blocked. Our system will permit you to block whole networks as well, so if you input 123.123.123., for instance, this'll block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your websites. In case you would like to whitelist an IP at some point, you may unblock it with simply a click from the same section.
IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You'll be able to block IP addresses easily and stop the unwelcome traffic to any Internet site hosted within a semi-dedicated server account with us, as we provide a really easy-to-use tool to do that, that's our Hepsia hosting CP. Even if you have never dealt with this type of matters in the past, you will not have any difficulties, because our tool includes a very user-friendly interface. When you visit the IP blocking section of the CP, you shall find a comprehensive list of all the domains and subdomains that you have added inside the Hosted Domains section. What you need to do to block an IP address is choose the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP within the box below. The change will take effect right away, so you will not get any traffic from this address in the future. Removing an IP from the blocked list is equally quick.
