One of the most efficient approaches to limit the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of those which shouldn't be able to open it. There are many reasons why you should do this. As an example, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can limit the access for an entire nation. You may also block IP addresses if you discover that there are way too many Internet browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left within your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In all of these situations, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any shady IP address, so as to be on the safe side. This way, you'll also avoid the possibility of your hosting server getting overloaded by too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Shared Web Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the ground breaking Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all shared web hosting accounts. It shall permit you to block addresses with only a couple of clicks. No coding abilities are needed, as you'll use an intuitive interface - you need to simply select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type in the IP address you want to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses you have added in the very same section and whitelisting any of them shall take only a mouse click. If you notice that your Internet site is being flooded by different IPs, you'll be able to block a whole IP range too. This could be done by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you wish to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you basically have to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
