One of the most productive approaches to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of those which mustn't be able to open it. There are numerous reasons to do that. For instance, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you could restrict the access for an entire state. You could also block IP addresses in case you discover that there are 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 many times. In all of these situations, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any questionable IP address, in order to be on the safe side. Thus, you'll also stay away from the chance 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 wish to block one or a number of IP addresses, you can use the IP Blocking tool, that's incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. By using a rather simple interface, you could prevent any IP from accessing your content even if you have not had a web hosting account before. All it requires to perform this is to log within to your Control Panel, to go to the IP Blocking section, to choose a particular domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to enter the IP address. You'll not need to do anything complex if you wish to block an entire network - you will just need 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 inside the same exact section, so you will be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with only a click.
IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with our semi-dedicated servers, will permit you to solve the issue with unwanted traffic very quickly and easily. It incorporates an IP blocking tool where you can add IP addresses with only a few clicks. All domains and subdomains that you have inside the account will be listed in a drop-down menu, so you simply have to select the one you need and then type in the IP address which should be blocked. If you wish to block a whole range, a C-class network for example, you simply need to type in the first three octets of the IP and leave the last one blank. This shall block all 254 addresses, so you'll not need to type them by hand. As all the IPs which you include in this section shall be listed, you may effortlessly unblock any one of them by clicking the Delete button associated with the particular IP.
