One of the most productive methods to limit the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of those which must not be able to open it. There are various good reasons to do that. For example, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your website, or you may limit the access for a whole nation. You can also block IP addresses in case you notice that there are lots of browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left on your websites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In each of these situations, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any questionable IP address, so as to be on the safe side. That way, you will also avoid the chance of your server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

Our Linux shared hosting offer an IP blocking tool, so if you want to limit the access to your Internet sites, you'll be able to do so with just several clicks. The tool is part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and which is very easy to use. As soon as you log in and check out the IP blocking section, you shall just need to choose a domain or a subdomain hosted in the account and type in the IP address that should be blocked. Our system will allow you to block whole networks as well, so if you type 123.123.123., for instance, this will block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your Internet sites. If you want to whitelist an IP at some point, you'll be able to unblock it with just a click from the same section.
