How to block someone from my website?

In certain cases you may need to deny a user or a bot access to your website.
Through the IP Blocking tool, you can block an IP or an entire range, thus denying them access to a specific folder or an entire website.
To locate the tool, go to the Advanced > IP Blocking section of your Control Panel.
The tool is very user-friendly and easy to use. To block an IP, first select which domain you need to protect from the Hostname drop-down menu.
Type the IP that will be banned in the IP Address field.
When ready, click on the Block an IP Address button to save the changes.
To block an IP range, for example 225.200.xxx.xxx, type just the first two octets (225 and 200) in the IP Address field, and leave the others blank. To block the IP range 215.xxx.xxx.xxx, type just the first octet (215) and leave the rest blank.
If you need to protect a sub-folder of a domain (e.g. my-best-domain.com/folder), specify the path in the Path field, e.g. my-best-domain.com/folder.
Additionally, you can click on the [...] button on the right side and navigate to the folder to select it.
