One of the most reliable ways to limit the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of those which mustn't be able to open it. There are various reasons to do that. As an illustration, you may want a specific person not to be able to see your website, or you could restrict the access for a whole country. You can even block IP addresses in case you notice that there are lots of browser requests from them, if a large number of spam comments are left on your sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In any of these scenarios, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any suspicious IP address, in order to be on the safe side. This way, you shall also steer clear of the possibility of your server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Shared Website Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is included with the ground breaking Hepsia hosting Control Panel, offered with all shared website hosting accounts. It will enable you to block addresses with simply a couple of mouse clicks. No coding skills are needed, due to the fact that you shall use an intuitive interface - you need to simply select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses that you've added within the very same section and whitelisting each of them shall take simply a mouse click. If you notice your website is being flooded by different IPs, you will be able to block an entire IP range as well. This can be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you need to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you only need to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
