One of the most effective approaches to limit the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of those that shouldn't be able to open it. There are various reasons to do that. For example, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can restrict the access for a whole nation. You may also block IP addresses in case you notice that there are lots of web browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left within your sites or if a script login page has been loaded a large number of times. In each of these situations, the traffic is most probably fake and has been created by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any questionable IP address, to be on the safe side. In this way, you will also steer clear of the possibility of your server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your websites within a semi-dedicated server account with us and you would like to block one or a number of IP addresses at some point, you are able to benefit from the easy-to-use blocking tool, which we've provided with our in-house built Hepsia hosting CP. With only a couple of mouse clicks, you will be able to block specific IPs or whole ranges, if required. All you shall have to do is pick any of your domains or subdomains from a drop-down menu, select if the blocking must be valid for the root folder or for a subfolder which is part of the site, and then type the IP address that you want to block. For an IP range, you only need to omit the last octet or the last two octets of the address with regards to the size of the network you want to block. Each of the addresses that you've restricted will be listed in the very same section and if you wish to whitelist any one of them, you shall be able to do it with simply a click at any time.
