One of the most productive methods to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the people which mustn't be able to open it. There are numerous reasons to do that. For instance, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your website, or you may limit the access for a whole state. You can even block IP addresses if you detect that there are lots of browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left on your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In any of these situations, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any shady IP address, to be on the safe side. In this way, you'll also stay away from the possibility of your hosting server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

If you get a cloud hosting from our company, you'll be able to see in depth traffic statistics for all your Internet sites and if you notice that a large amount of the visits to each of them are not authentic, you are able to block the IP addresses that have produced the most traffic via our IP Blocking tool. The interface is very simple - select the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down list, then type in the IP address you want to block and save the change. All of the addresses you have blacklisted shall appear inside the same section of the CP, allowing you to always remove any one of them and enable it to access your website again. You can block whole IP ranges through the tool as well - you just need to leave one or two octets from the address blank. For example, entering 1.2.3. will block all 254 IPs from 1.2.3.1 to 1.2.3.255.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts feature a rather simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll allow you to prohibit individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your sites with no more thanseveral mouse clicks and you will not have any issues to achieve that even if that's your first website hosting account. As soon as you visit the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you'll simply have to select the domain or subdomain you want from a drop-down list, then type in the IP address inside a box that you'll see there and you will be good to go. To prohibit the access for an entire network, you have to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you type 123.123. and don't type in anything in the third and fourth positions, our web server will deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
