One of the most effective ways to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of those which should not be able to open it. There are various reasons to do that. For instance, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your website, or you may restrict the access for a whole country. You can even block IP addresses in case you discover that there are way too many Internet browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left within your Internet 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 shady IP address, so as to be on the safe side. That way, you shall also prevent the possibility of your server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is included with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all shared hosting accounts. It shall permit you to block addresses with a few mouse clicks. No coding abilities are required, due to the fact that you will use an intuitive interface - you simply need to select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP address you want to be blocked. You'll be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added within the exact same section and whitelisting any of them shall take just a mouse click. If you notice your site is being flooded by different IPs, you shall be able to block a whole IP range as well. This could be performed 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 just need to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
