One of the most reliable methods to restrict the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of the people which mustn't be able to open it. There are numerous good reasons to do that. For instance, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you may limit the access for an entire nation. You could also block IP addresses if you detect that there are too many Internet browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left on your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In all of these scenarios, the traffic is most likely fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any suspicious IP address, so as to be on the safe side. In this way, you will also steer clear of the prospect of your hosting server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.
IP Blocking in Shared Website Hosting
Our IP Blocking tool comes with the advanced Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared website hosting accounts. It will permit you to block addresses with just several clicks. No coding abilities are necessary, as you'll use an intuitive interface - you just need to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type in the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You will 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 click. If you notice that your Internet site is being flooded by different IPs, you'll be able to block an entire IP range as well. This can be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you would like to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you basically have to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
