Can I block visitors by country or IP address?

You can block access to your websites by country or IP address using the Block Visitors feature. You can either block all or allow all except, and then select multiple countries.

To use this feature:

• Head to My20i > Manage Hosting > Options/Manage > Block Visitors
• You can choose to allow all countries (with exceptions), or block all countries (with exceptions). You can also block specific IP addresses/CIDRs.

Note: Blocking certain regions, such as the USA, may hinder indexing as crawlers may be unable to access the website if the connection originates from a blocked region.

What will blocked countries / IP addresses see?

When blocked, a 403 Forbidden warning will be displayed.
