One of the most reliable methods to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of those which shouldn't be able to open it. There are numerous good reasons to do this. As an illustration, you may want a specific person not to be able to see your website, or you can restrict the access for an entire state. You could also block IP addresses in case you detect that there are too many Internet browser requests from them, if many 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 cases, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any questionable IP address, in order to be on the safe side. This way, you'll also avoid the possibility of your web 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 want to block one or several IP addresses, you may use the IP Blocking tool, that's incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. Using a rather 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 takes to do that is to log inside to your Control Panel, to navigate to the IP Blocking section, to choose a particular domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to input the IP address. You simply won't need to do anything difficult if you would like to block an entire 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 entire range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed inside the same exact section, so you will be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with just a click.
