One of the most efficient ways to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the people which must not be able to open it. There are various reasons why you should do this. For example, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can limit the access for a whole nation. You may also block IP addresses if you discover that there are way too many browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left on your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In all of these scenarios, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any suspicious IP address, to be on the safe side. This way, you'll also steer clear of the possibility of your server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Shared Web Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the ground breaking Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all shared web hosting accounts. It'll permit you to block addresses with just a few clicks. No coding skills are needed, as you shall use an intuitive interface - you simply need to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You'll be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added in the very same section and whitelisting any of them shall take simply a click. If you notice your site is being flooded by different IPs, you shall be able to block a whole IP range as well. This may be done by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you wish to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you simply have to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
