One of the most productive approaches to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of the people that must not be able to open it. There are various reasons to do this. For example, you may want a particular individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you may limit the access for an entire state. You can also block IP addresses if you detect that there are lots of browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left within your sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In any of these cases, the traffic is most likely fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any suspicious IP address, to be on the safe side. In this way, you will also stay away from the possibility of your web server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Web Hosting

If you have a cloud web hosting account with our company and you want to block one or several IP addresses, you can use the IP Blocking tool, that is incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. By using a really simple interface, you'll be able to restrict any IP from accessing your content even if you have not had a web hosting account before. All it requires to perform that is to log within to your Control Panel, to navigate to the IP Blocking section, to choose a specific domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to input the IP address. You won't have to do anything challenging if you wish to block a whole network - you'll just need to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot shall block the entire range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed within the exact same section, so you will be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with just a mouse click.
