One of the most productive approaches to limit the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of individuals that must not be able to open it. There are many good reasons to do that. For example, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your website, or you may restrict the access for an entire nation. You could also block IP addresses if you discover that there are too many browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left in your websites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In any of these scenarios, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any suspicious IP address, to be on the safe side. This way, you will also steer clear of the possibility of your web server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Shared Web Hosting

If you have a shared web hosting account with our company and you want to block one or a number of IP addresses, you may use the IP Blocking tool, which is included in our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. Using a very simple interface, you could stop any IP from accessing your content even if you have never had a web hosting account before. All it takes to do this is to log in to your CP, to check out the IP Blocking section, to select a particular domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to enter the IP address. You won't have to do anything complex if you wish to block a whole network - you will just have to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot will block the entire range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed within the exact same section, so you will be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with a click.
