One of the most reliable approaches to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of individuals that should not be able to open it. There are various reasons why you should do this. As an illustration, you may want a specific person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you could restrict the access for a whole state. You can also block IP addresses if you detect that there are lots of Internet browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left on your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In any of these scenarios, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any suspicious IP address, in order to be on the safe side. In this way, you'll also prevent the possibility of your web server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Web Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the innovative Hepsia hosting Control Panel, offered with all cloud web hosting accounts. It'll enable you to block addresses with only a few clicks. No coding skills are required, because you shall use an intuitive interface - you just need to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP address that you want to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added in the very same section and whitelisting any of them shall take only a mouse click. If you notice your Internet site is being flooded by various IPs, you'll be able to block an entire IP range too. This may be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you wish to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you only need to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
