One of the most productive ways to limit the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of individuals which should not be able to open it. There are several good reasons to do this. For example, you may want a particular individual not to be able to see your site, or you could restrict the access for an entire nation. You could also block IP addresses if you detect that there are too many web browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left within your sites or if a script login page has been loaded a large number of times. In all of these scenarios, the traffic is most likely fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any questionable IP address, in order to be on the safe side. Thus, you shall also steer clear of the prospect of your hosting server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Web Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the innovative Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all cloud web hosting accounts. It'll allow you to block addresses with just a couple of mouse clicks. No coding skills are needed, since you shall use an intuitive interface - you simply need to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added in the exact same section and whitelisting any of them will take just a mouse click. If you notice your site is being flooded by different IPs, you'll be able to block a whole IP range too. This can be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you want to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you just have to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
