From time to time you may have to block particular third parties from accessing your websites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and generate fake visits and online traffic. There are also spammers that leave links to shady sites as comments to site articles. This type of things can significantly undermine your projects, as nobody likes to visit an Internet site with tons of fake comments, not to mention that the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the web server where your website is hosted, which can result in your site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in such a case is to block the IPs which produce the fake traffic, in order to be sure that the visits to your site are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is included with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting Control Panel, offered with all hosting accounts. It'll permit you to block addresses with simply several mouse clicks. No coding abilities are required, due to the fact that you shall use an intuitive interface - you simply need to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP address that you want to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added in the very same section and whitelisting each of them shall take simply a mouse click. If you notice your site is being flooded by different IPs, you will be able to block a whole IP range too. This could be done by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you need to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you just have to input 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with a rather simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll permit you to prohibit individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your Internet sites with simplyseveral mouse clicks and you shall not have any difficulties to accomplish that even if that's your first hosting account. As soon as you check out the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you'll just have to pick the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then enter the IP address inside a box that you'll see there and you will be all set. To limit the access for an entire network, you must leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you type 123.123. and do not type in anything in the third and fourth positions, our server will deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
