One of the most productive approaches to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the individuals that should not be able to open it. There are many good reasons to do that. As an illustration, you may want a particular individual not to be able to see your site, or you may restrict the access for an entire country. You could also block IP addresses in case you notice that there are too many web browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left on your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded a large number of 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 shady IP address, in order to be on the safe side. Thus, you shall also avoid the chance of your server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.
IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting
Our IP Blocking tool is included with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting Control Panel, offered with all cloud hosting accounts. It will permit you to block addresses with simply several mouse clicks. No coding abilities are needed, because you'll use an intuitive interface - you need to simply pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses that you've added inside the exact same section and whitelisting any of them shall take just a mouse click. If you notice your website is being flooded by various IPs, you'll be able to block a whole IP range too. This can be performed by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you need 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 .
IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers
The Hepsia hosting CP, included with our semi-dedicated plans, will allow you to solve the issue with unwanted traffic very easily. It comes with an IP blocking tool in which you can add IP addresses with only a couple of clicks. All domains and subdomains which you have inside the account will be listed in a drop-down menu, so you just have to pick the one you need and then enter the IP address that needs to be blocked. If you wish to block an entire range, a C-class network for instance, you just need to input the first 3 octets of the IP and leave the last one blank. This will block all 254 addresses, so you'll not need to input them by hand. Considering that all the IPs that you include in this section shall be listed, you may easily unblock any of them by clicking the Delete button relevant to the given IP.
