One of the most productive approaches to limit the access to your Internet site is to block the IP addresses of the people which shouldn't be able to open it. There are numerous reasons to do this. 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 an entire country. You could also block IP addresses if you notice that there are too many browser requests from them, if a large number of spam comments are left within your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded many times. In each of these scenarios, the traffic is more than likely fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any shady IP address, so as to be on the safe side. That way, you shall also prevent the prospect of your server getting overloaded by a lot of fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Website Hosting

If you order a cloud website hosting from our company, you'll be able to see detailed traffic statistics for all your sites and if you notice that a lot of the visits to any of them aren't authentic, you are able to block the IP addresses that have generated the most traffic through our IP Blocking tool. The interface is quite simple - pick the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down list, then type the IP address that you would like to block and save the change. All of the addresses you have blacklisted will show up in the same section of the CP, so you can always remove any of them and permit it to access your site again. You are able to block entire IP ranges using the tool as well - you just need to leave 1 or 2 octets from the address blank. As an example, entering 1.2.3. will block all 254 IPs from 1.2.3.1 to 1.2.3.255.
