How to Block an IP Address in cPanel

In this tutorial, we will learn how to block an IP address in cPanel.

Everybody who visits your website has a unique identity tied to the device they are using. This unique identity is like an address that tells you the device that they are using, as well as other information related to the device. It is called the IP address.

You can use the IP address to block a particular device user from having access to your website. It is very useful in keeping away users who you detect to be performing malicious activity while on your website.

Using the IP Blocker on your website’s cPanel, you can easily block an IP address or any number of IP addresses that you don’t want accessing your website.

Let’s get started in the guide, and you will learn how you can get that done.
