One of the most reliable approaches to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of the individuals which should not be able to open it. There are many reasons why you should do that. As an example, you may want a specific individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can restrict the access for a whole state. You can even block IP addresses in case you detect that there are way too many browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left on your sites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In any of these situations, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any shady IP address, in order to be on the safe side. Thus, you'll also stay away from the prospect of your web server getting overloaded by many fake requests.
IP Blocking in Cloud Website Hosting
Our IP Blocking tool is included with the innovative Hepsia hosting Control Panel, offered with all cloud website hosting accounts. It'll permit you to block addresses with just a few mouse clicks. No coding abilities are necessary, due to the fact that you shall use an intuitive interface - you just have 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 you have added inside the very same section and whitelisting any of them shall take just a mouse click. If you notice your site is being flooded by various IPs, you'll be able to block an entire IP range also. This may be performed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you want to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you just need to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server accounts include a really simple-to-use IP blocking tool, which will enable you to restrict individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your websites with simplyseveral clicks and you will not have any difficulties to do that even if that is your first hosting account. As soon as you go to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will only have to pick the domain or subdomain you want from a drop-down list, then enter the IP address in a box that you'll see there and you will be ready. To restrict the access for an entire network, you will need to leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you enter 123.123. and don't type anything inside the third and fourth positions, our hosting server shall deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
