One of the most efficient approaches to limit the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the people which must not be able to open it. There are numerous reasons why you should do that. As an example, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you may limit the access for a whole country. You can even block IP addresses if you notice that there are lots of browser requests from them, if a large number of spam comments are left on your sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In all of these situations, the traffic is most probably fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any suspicious IP address, to be on the safe side. This way, you will also avoid the prospect of your server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

Our shared hosting provide an IP blocking tool, so if you'd like to restrict the access to your websites, you'll be able to do this with a couple of clicks. The tool is part of the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts and that's very simple to use. As you log in and go to the IP blocking section, you'll just have to choose a domain or a subdomain hosted inside the account and enter the IP address which needs to be blocked. Our system will permit you to block whole networks as well, so if you type in 123.123.123., for instance, this'll block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your Internet sites. In case you want to whitelist an IP at some point, you could unblock it with a click from the same section.
