One of the most productive methods to limit the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the individuals which should not be able to open it. There are many reasons to do this. For example, you may want a specific person not to be able to see your site, or you can limit the access for an entire country. You may also block IP addresses if you notice that there are way too many browser requests from them, if a large number of spam comments are left within your sites or if a script login page has been loaded a lot of times. In any of these cases, the traffic is most likely fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any questionable IP address, to be on the safe side. Thus, you shall also avoid the chance of your web server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Website Hosting

Our Linux cloud website hosting services provide an IP blocking tool, so in case you'd like to limit the access to your websites, you will be able to do this with simply several mouse clicks. The tool is part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and which is very easy to use. Once you log in and navigate to the IP blocking section, you will just need to select a domain or a subdomain hosted within the account and enter the IP address which needs to be blocked. Our system allows you to block entire networks too, so if you type 123.123.123., for example, this'll block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your Internet sites. If you would like to whitelist an IP at some point, you'll be able to unblock it with simply a mouse click from the same section.
