One of the most reliable methods to restrict the access to your site is to block the IP addresses of those that must not be able to open it. There are many reasons why you should do this. For instance, you may want a specific individual not to be able to see your website, or you may restrict the access for an entire country. You can also block IP addresses if you detect that there are lots of browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left in your websites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In any of these scenarios, the traffic is almost certainly fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any questionable IP address, to be on the safe side. That way, you shall also prevent the prospect of your server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the advanced Hepsia hosting CP, provided with all shared hosting accounts. It shall allow you to block addresses with only a couple of clicks. No coding abilities are needed, since you will use an intuitive interface - you simply need to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added in the very same section and whitelisting each of them shall take only a mouse click. If you notice that your website is being flooded by various IPs, you shall be able to block an entire IP range as well. This could be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you need to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you simply have to input 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
