IP blocker:
IP blocker is a feature available in cPanel. It allows you to block an IP address or a range of IP addresses and prevents them to access your website. The user can block with an address or even with a fully qualified domain name also. When a fully qualified domain name is entered, the IP Deny Manager attempts to resolve it to an IP address. This feature will help you to prevent an unwanted user from accessing your website.
