This option is useful when you want to restrict suspicious traffic, unwanted visitors, repeated failed login attempts, or abusive requests from a particular IP address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Prerequisites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Before proceeding, make sure you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Valid cPanel login credentials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The IP address or domain name that needs to be blocked.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Access permission to manage the hosting account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Confirmation that the IP address should be blocked, as legitimate users from that IP may also lose access.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nSteps to Deny Access from a Specific IP Address<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Login to cPanel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Login to your cPanel account using the valid username and password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
https://yourdomain.com\/cpanel\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nor<\/p>\n\n\n\n
https://server-ip:2083\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nStep 2: Open IP Blocker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
After logging in to cPanel, go to the Security<\/strong> section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Click on IP Blocker<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nStep 3: Enter the IP Address or Domain Name<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In the IP Blocker page, enter the IP address or domain name that you want to block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
192.168.1.100\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nYou can also enter a domain name, and cPanel will resolve it to the corresponding IP address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nStep 4: Add the IP Address to the Block List<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Click on the Add<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cPanel will add the IP address to the blocked list. After this, requests from the blocked IP address will be denied access to the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nStep 5: Verify the Blocked IP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
After adding the IP address, scroll down to the blocked IP list and confirm that the IP address has been added successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If required, you can remove the IP address later from the same page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nConclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Blocking a specific IP address in cPanel helps prevent unwanted or suspicious access to your website or application. This can be done easily using the IP Blocker<\/strong> option under the Security<\/strong> section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, before blocking an IP address, make sure it is not being used by legitimate users, as blocking it will deny access to all requests coming from that IP address.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
