One of the most effective approaches to restrict the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of individuals that mustn't be able to open it. There are several reasons to do that. As an example, you may want a particular individual not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can restrict the access for a whole state. You may also block IP addresses if you notice that there are lots of browser requests from them, if a lot of spam comments are left within your websites or if a script login page has been loaded a large number of times. In any of these situations, the traffic is most probably fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any suspicious IP address, in order to be on the safe side. This way, you will also prevent the possibility of your web server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.

You shall be able to see all the IP addresses you have added in the exact same section and whitelisting any of them will take simply a mouse click. If you notice that your website is being flooded by different IPs, you shall be able to block an entire IP range as well. This may be done by omitting the last number of the address.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with our Linux semi-dedicated hosting, will allow you to solve the challenge with unwanted traffic very quickly and easily.

Since all the IPs you include in this section shall be listed, you could very easily unblock any one of them by clicking the Delete button associated with the particular IP.
