One of the most efficient methods to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the people which shouldn't be able to open it. There are several good reasons to do that. For instance, you may want a certain individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can restrict the access for a whole country. You may also block IP addresses if you discover that there are too many 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 a lot of times. In each of these situations, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any shady IP address, so as to be on the safe side. Thus, you shall also stay away from the prospect of your hosting server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

If you have a cloud hosting account with us and you would like to block one or a few IP addresses, you may use the IP Blocking tool, that's included in our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. Using a really simple interface, you could stop any IP from accessing your content even if you have not had a web hosting account before. All it takes to perform that is to log in to your Control Panel, to go to the IP Blocking section, to pick a particular domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to type in the IP address. You simply won't need to do anything complicated if you'd like to block a whole network - you'll just have 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 shall be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with only a click.
