One of the most productive methods 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 many reasons why you should do this. As an illustration, you may want a specific person not to be able to see your website, or you could limit the access for an entire country. You can also block IP addresses if you detect that there are way too many Internet browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left on your sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In all of these cases, the traffic is most probably 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. In this way, you will also steer clear of the possibility of your web server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting plans offer an IP blocking tool, so in case you'd like to limit the access to your sites, you will be able to do this with just a couple of clicks. The tool is provided with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and that's super easy to use. When you log in and check out the IP blocking section, you will just need to choose a domain or a subdomain hosted inside the account and type in the IP address which should be blocked. Our system will allow you to block entire networks also, so if you type 123.123.123., for instance, this will block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your websites. In case you would like to whitelist an IP at some point, you can unblock it with a click from the same section.
