One of the most effective ways to limit the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of the people which should not be able to open it. There are many good reasons to do that. For instance, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you could limit the access for an entire nation. You could also block IP addresses in case you notice that there are lots of web browser requests from them, if a large number of spam comments are left in your websites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In all of these scenarios, the traffic is most likely fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any questionable IP address, to be on the safe side. Thus, you will also avoid the possibility of your server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the innovative Hepsia hosting CP, provided with all shared hosting accounts. It will permit you to block addresses with only a couple of mouse clicks. No coding skills are needed, since you will use an intuitive interface - you just have to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You'll be able to see all the IP addresses that you've added in the exact same section and whitelisting any of them shall take simply a click. If you notice your site is being flooded by numerous IPs, you'll be able to block an entire IP range as well. This could be performed by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you would like to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you only need to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
