One of the most effective ways to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of individuals which should not be able to open it. There are numerous reasons why you should do this. For example, you may want a specific person not to be able to see your website, or you can limit the access for a whole country. You can even block IP addresses in case you discover that there are lots of browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left within your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In each of these situations, the traffic is most probably fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any questionable IP address, so as to be on the safe side. This way, you'll also prevent the possibility of your hosting server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all cloud hosting accounts. It shall allow you to block addresses with a few mouse clicks. No coding abilities are required, since you'll use an intuitive interface - you just need to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter 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 same section and whitelisting any of them will take only a mouse click. If you notice your Internet site is being flooded by different IPs, you'll be able to block a whole IP range also. This could be performed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you want to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you just need to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
