One of the most efficient ways to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the people that mustn't be able to open it. There are various reasons why you should do that. For example, you may want a specific individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can restrict the access for a whole state. You may also block IP addresses if you notice that there are way too many web browser requests from them, if a huge 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 almost certainly fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you can safely block any shady IP address, in order to be on the safe side. In this way, you'll also steer clear of the chance of your server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.
IP Blocking in Shared Hosting
Our IP Blocking tool is part of the ground breaking Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared hosting accounts. It'll enable you to block addresses with only a couple of mouse clicks. No coding skills are needed, because you will use an intuitive interface - you just need to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added within the exact same section and whitelisting each of them shall take only a mouse click. If you notice that your site is being flooded by various IPs, you will be able to block a whole IP range as well. This can be completed 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 .
