One of the most efficient ways to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of the people which should not be able to open it. There are various reasons why you should do this. As an illustration, you may want a specific individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can limit the access for an entire state. You can even block IP addresses in case you discover that there are way too many Internet browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left in your sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In each of these situations, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any shady IP address, in order to be on the safe side. That way, you will also avoid the chance of your web server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

When you log in and visit the IP blocking section, you'll just have to select a domain or a subdomain hosted in the account and type the IP address which needs to be blocked. Our system will enable you to block whole networks too, so if you enter 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.

If you host your Internet sites inside a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you need to block one or numerous IP addresses sooner or later, you'll be able to use the easy-to-use blocking tool, that we have provided with our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With only several clicks, you will be able to block certain IPs or whole ranges, if required. All you shall have to do is select any of your domains or subdomains from a drop-down menu, select if the blocking needs to be valid for the root folder or for a subfolder that is part of the site, and then enter the IP address that you would like to block. For an IP range, you simply have to omit the last octet or the last 2 octets of the address based on the size of the network which you want to block. Each of the addresses that you've restricted will be listed inside the same exact section and if you want to whitelist any of them, you'll be able to do it with just a mouse click whenever you want.
