One of the most efficient methods to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of individuals which shouldn't be able to open it. There are numerous good reasons to do that. As an example, you may want a certain individual not to be able to see your website, or you could restrict the access for a whole state. You can even block IP addresses in case you discover that there are way too many web 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 a large number of times. In each of these situations, the traffic is most likely fake and has been generated by an automatic bot, so you may safely block any shady IP address, so as to be on the safe side. This way, you'll also prevent the prospect of your hosting server getting overloaded by way too many fake requests.

IP Blocking in Cloud Web Hosting

If you purchase a Linux cloud web hosting from us, you will be able to see in depth traffic stats for all of your websites and if you notice that many of the visits to any of them are not legit, you could block the IP addresses which have produced the most traffic by using our IP Blocking tool. The interface is really simple - choose the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down list, then input the IP address you want to block and save the change. All of the addresses which you have blacklisted will appear in the very same section of the CP, so that you can always remove any one of them and enable it to access your site again. You are able to block whole IP ranges through the tool also - you just need to leave one or two octets from the address blank. For instance, entering 1.2.3. will block all 254 IPs from 1.2.3.1 to 1.2.3.255.
