One of the most productive ways to limit the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of individuals which must not be able to open it. There are various reasons to do this. For example, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your website, or you could limit the access for an entire country. You could also block IP addresses if you detect that there are too many Internet browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left in your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In each of these scenarios, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any questionable IP address, to be on the safe side. In this way, you will also steer clear of the prospect of your hosting server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.
IP Blocking in Cloud Website Hosting
Our Linux cloud website hosting feature an IP blocking tool, so if you'd like to restrict the access to your sites, you will be able to do this with a few clicks. The tool is part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and that is super easy to use. Once you log in and check out the IP blocking section, you shall just have to choose a domain or a subdomain hosted in the account and enter the IP address that should be blocked. Our system will allow you to block entire networks as well, so if you input 123.123.123., for instance, this'll block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your sites. If you would like to whitelist an IP at some point, you can unblock it with a click from the same section.
IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server accounts feature a very simple-to-use IP blocking tool, which will enable you to prohibit individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your Internet sites with simplya couple of mouse clicks and you won't have any problems to accomplish that even if this is your first website hosting account. When you visit the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll simply have to choose the domain or subdomain in question from a drop-down list, then type the IP address inside a box that you'll see there and you will be good to go. To prohibit the access for a whole network, you have to leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you enter 123.123. and do not input anything inside the third and fourth positions, our server shall deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
