One of the most reliable methods to limit the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of individuals that must not be able to open it. There are numerous reasons why you should do that. For example, you may want a particular person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you may restrict the access for a whole nation. You can also block IP addresses if you discover that there are way too many browser requests from them, if many spam comments are left within your sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In each of these scenarios, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any suspicious IP address, so as to be on the safe side. In this way, you'll also steer clear of the chance of your web server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.
IP Blocking in Shared Web Hosting
If you have a shared web hosting account with our company and you wish to block one or several IP addresses, you could use the IP Blocking tool, that's incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia CP. Using a very simple interface, you'll be able to restrict any IP from accessing your content even if you have not had a web hosting account before. All it takes to complete this is to log in to your CP, to navigate to the IP Blocking section, to choose a specific domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to type in the IP address. You won't have to do anything challenging if you would like to block an entire network - you'll simply have to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot shall block the entire range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs will be listed within the exact same section, so you will be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with only a mouse click.
