One of the most reliable ways to restrict the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of the individuals which must not be able to open it. There are many reasons why you should do this. For instance, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your website, or you can restrict the access for a whole state. You can also block IP addresses if you detect that there are lots of browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left on your websites or if a script login page has been loaded many 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 questionable IP address, in order to be on the safe side. This way, you'll also stay away from the chance of your web server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Hosting

Our hosting feature an IP blocking tool, so in case you want to limit the access to your sites, you will be able to do this with just several mouse clicks. The tool is part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and which is a breeze to use. When you log in and navigate to the IP blocking section, you shall just need to select a domain or a subdomain hosted inside the account and input the IP address which needs to be blocked. Our system will enable you to block whole networks as well, so if you type 123.123.123., for example, this shall block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your websites. If you wish to whitelist an IP at some point, you'll be able to unblock it with a mouse click from the same section.

You'll be able to block IP addresses without difficulty and stop the unwanted traffic to any site hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account with our company, since we offer a rather easy-to-use tool to do that, that's included with our Hepsia hosting CP.
