One of the most productive approaches to restrict the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of the people that shouldn't be able to open it. There are several good reasons to do that. As an example, you may want a specific individual not to be able to see your website, or you may limit the access for a whole state. You could also block IP addresses if you discover that there are too many browser requests from them, if a large number of spam comments are left in your sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In any of these situations, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any questionable IP address, to be on the safe side. That way, you'll also prevent the possibility of your web server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

If you have a cloud hosting account with us and you want to block one or a number of IP addresses, you could use the IP Blocking tool, that is integrated into our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. Using a really simple interface, you'll be able to stop any IP from accessing your content even if you have never had a web hosting account before. All it takes to perform this is to log inside to your Control Panel, to navigate to the IP Blocking section, to select a certain domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to type in the IP address. You'll not have to do anything challenging if you wish to block an entire network - you'll just have to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot will block the entire range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed inside the same section, so you shall be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with simply a mouse click.
