One of the most efficient methods to limit the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of individuals which must not be able to open it. There are numerous good reasons to do that. For example, you may want a certain individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can restrict the access for a whole country. You may also block IP addresses if you discover that there are way too many browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left on your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In each of these cases, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any questionable IP address, so as to be on the safe side. In this way, you'll also avoid the prospect of your hosting server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.
IP Blocking in Website Hosting
Our website hosting plans offer an IP blocking tool, so if you want to limit the access to your websites, you will be able to do so with simply a couple of mouse clicks. The tool is provided with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and which is quite simple to use. When you log in and check out the IP blocking section, you shall just have to pick a domain or a subdomain hosted in the account and enter the IP address that needs to be blocked. Our system enables you to block whole networks as well, 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. In case you would like to whitelist an IP at some point, you could unblock it with just a click from the same section.
