One of the most effective ways to restrict the access to your website is to block the IP addresses of the people that should not be able to open it. There are numerous reasons to do this. For instance, you may want a certain person not to be able to see your Internet site, or you can limit the access for a whole state. You can also block IP addresses if you detect that there are way too many web browser requests from them, if a huge number of spam comments are left within your Internet sites or if a script login page has been loaded numerous times. In each of these cases, the traffic is most likely fake and has been produced by an automatic bot, so you could safely block any questionable IP address, to be on the safe side. Thus, you shall also steer clear of the prospect of your web server getting overloaded by many fake requests.

As soon as you log in and go to the IP blocking section, you shall just need to select a domain or a subdomain hosted inside the account and input the IP address that should be blocked. Our system allows you to block entire networks as well, so if you type in 123.123.123., for instance, this shall block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your websites. In case you would like to whitelist an IP at some point, you could unblock it with just a click from the same section.
