Blocking IPs from Your Website

What this is

The IP manager lets you block specific IP addresses from accessing your website, or create an allow list to restrict access to only certain IPs.

How to use it

Your control panel includes an IP allow/block manager. Use it to:

• Block an IP that's abusing your site or sending spam traffic.
• Allow only specific IPs — useful for restricting access to a development or staging site.

WordPress-specific IP restrictions

If you're running WordPress, you can also restrict access to wp-login.php by IP address through the WordPress toolkit's security settings. See WordPress security hardening.
