One of the most productive ways to restrict the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of individuals that mustn't be able to open it. There are several good reasons to do this. As an illustration, you may want a particular individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can restrict the access for a whole country. You could also block IP addresses in case you notice that there are too many web browser requests from them, if a large number of spam comments are left within your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In all of these situations, the traffic is most probably fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any questionable IP address, so as to be on the safe side. That way, you'll also prevent the possibility of your web server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

Our Linux cloud hosting packages feature an IP blocking tool, so if you want to limit the access to your websites, it shall be able to do this with a few clicks. The tool is provided with the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts and which is super easy to use. As soon as you log in and visit the IP blocking section, you'll just have to choose a domain or a subdomain hosted in the account and type in the IP address which should be blocked. Our system will allow you to block whole networks too, so if you input 123.123.123., for example, this'll block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your Internet sites. In case you would like to whitelist an IP at some point, you can unblock it with just a click from the same section.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts include a very simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that will allow you to prohibit individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your Internet sites with justa couple of mouse clicks and you will not have any difficulties to do that even if this is your first web hosting account. When you visit the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will only need to select the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then type in the IP address inside a box that you will see there and you will be all set. To restrict the access for an entire network, you'll have to leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you type 123.123. and don't input anything in the third and fourth positions, our web server will deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
