One of the most reliable ways to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the people which should not be able to open it. There are numerous good reasons to do that. As an example, you may want a specific individual not to be able to see your website, or you can limit the access for an entire state. You can even block IP addresses if you detect that there are too many web browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left on your sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In any of these scenarios, the traffic is more than likely 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. This way, you'll also prevent the possibility of your server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Web Hosting

If you have a cloud web hosting account with our company and you wish to block one or several IP addresses, you could use the IP Blocking tool, that's integrated into our in-house built Hepsia CP. Using a pretty simple interface, you'll be able to stop any IP from accessing your content even if you have not had a web hosting account before. All it takes to perform this is to log inside to your CP, to go to the IP Blocking section, to select a certain domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to enter the IP address. You simply won't need to do anything complex if you wish to block a whole network - you will just need to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot shall block the full range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed in the very same section, so you'll be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with only a click.

Even if you haven't tackled this kind of problems in the past, you won't have any difficulties, as our tool has a very user-friendly interface. Once you go to the IP blocking section of the Control Panel, you shall find a full list of all the domains and subdomains you have added within the Hosted Domains section. All you have to do to block an IP address is pick the desired domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then type in the IP in the box below. The change will take effect straightaway, so you'll not get any traffic from this address in the future. Removing an IP from the blocked list is equally easy.
