<html>This demo will show you how to block an IP from your Website through your cPanel. The ability to deny an IP address access to your site allows webmasters greater control over the security of their site. IP blocking could be useful for: 
 
* Blocking IPs where past security attacks have originated from 
* Banning unwanted visitors 
* Blocking email harvesters 
 
Once blocked, visitors (or robots) originating from a blocked IP will not be sent any pages, images, or files from your account.
