Apache and Nginx Settings – Denying Access to the Website

You can prevent certain visitors from accessing your website. You can
deny access to:

• Individual IP addresses (for example, 192.168.1.110)
• Subnets of IP addresses (for example, 127.0.0.1/8)
• Specific host names (for example, example.com)
• Everyone (by using an asterisk “*” character )

Blocked visitors will receive a “403 Forbidden” error message when
trying to browse your website.

To configure access to your website:

1. Go to Websites & Domains > Apache & nginx Settings.
2. Under Deny access to the site, select the Enter custom value
   radio button.
3. Type in or delete the desired IP addresses, subnets, or hostnames.
4. If you blocked a subnet, but would like to allow one or more IP
   addresses belonging to it to access your website, type them in the
   Excluding field.
5. Click OK.
