cPanel - Blocking an IP from your Website

This demo will show you how to block an IP from your Website through your cPanel. The ability to deny an IP address access to your site allows webmasters greater control over the security of their site. IP blocking could be useful for:

* Blocking IPs where past security attacks have originated from
* Banning unwanted visitors
* Blocking email harvesters

Once blocked, visitors (or robots) originating from a blocked IP will not be sent any pages, images, or files from your account.

[1] Locate and click the IP deny manager icon under the security section of your cPanel

[2] Enter the IP address you wish to block in the "IP address or domain" Field

[3] Click the "Add" button to block the IP address from accessing your website
