One of the most reliable methods to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of the individuals that mustn't be able to open it. There are several good reasons to do that. For instance, you may want a specific person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can limit the access for a whole state. You can also block IP addresses if you discover that there are way too many web browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left within your websites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In any of these cases, the traffic is most probably fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any questionable IP address, to be on the safe side. That way, you'll also steer clear of the possibility of your server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all cloud hosting accounts. It'll enable you to block addresses with only a couple of mouse clicks. No coding skills are needed, as you shall use an intuitive interface - you need to simply select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP address you want to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses that you've added within the exact same section and whitelisting any of them shall take just a click. If you notice that your Internet site is being flooded by various IPs, you will be able to block a whole IP range too. This may be performed 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 have to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
