One of the most reliable ways to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of those that mustn't be able to open it. There are numerous good reasons to do this. For example, you may want a particular individual not to be able to see your website, or you could limit the access for a whole country. You can even block IP addresses if you detect that there are lots of Internet browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left within your sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In all of these situations, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any questionable IP address, in order to be on the safe side. That way, you will also stay away from the prospect of your hosting server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Web Hosting

If you have a web hosting account with our company and you want to block one or a number of IP addresses, you can use the IP Blocking tool, which is included in our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. By using a very simple interface, you'll be able to restrict any IP from accessing your content even if you have not had a web hosting account before. All it requires to perform that is to log in to your Control Panel, to go to the IP Blocking section, to select a particular domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to type in the IP address. You won't need to do anything complicated if you would like to block a whole network - you will simply have to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot shall block the whole range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed within the exact same section, so you will be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with just a mouse click.
