One of the most reliable ways to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the people that shouldn't be able to open it. There are several good reasons to do that. For example, you may want a certain individual not to be able to see your website, or you could restrict the access for an entire state. You can even block IP addresses if you detect that there are way too many browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left on your sites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In all of these situations, the traffic is most likely 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. That way, you will also stay away from the chance of your hosting server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.

IP Blocking in Website Hosting

If you have a website hosting account with our company and you wish to block one or several IP addresses, you could use the IP Blocking tool, which is incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. Through a very simple interface, you could stop any IP from accessing your content even if you have never had a web hosting account before. All it requires to perform this is to log in to your CP, to check out the IP Blocking section, to choose a certain domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to enter the IP address. You won't need to do anything complex if you wish to block a whole network - you'll simply have to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot will block the entire range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed in the same exact section, so you will be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with just a mouse click.
