One of the most effective ways to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of those that should not be able to open it. There are several reasons why you should do this. For instance, you may want a certain individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you may limit the access for an entire nation. You could also block IP addresses if you notice that there are lots of browser requests from them, if a large number of spam comments are left in your sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In each of these scenarios, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any questionable IP address, to be on the safe side. Thus, you will also avoid the chance of your server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is included with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all hosting accounts. It will permit you to block addresses with just a few clicks. No coding abilities are needed, due to the fact that you shall use an intuitive interface - you just need to select 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 inside the very same section and whitelisting any of them shall take only a click. If you notice that your site is being flooded by numerous IPs, you will be able to block an entire IP range too. This could be done 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 just have to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
