Once in a while you might need to block particular third parties from accessing your sites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and generate fake visits and online traffic. In addition, there are spammers who leave links to shady sites as comments to blog articles. This sort of things could considerably undermine your projects, because nobody likes to visit a website with countless fake comments, furthermore the increased traffic from both spammers and bots can generate high load on the web server on which your website is hosted, that could result in your site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IP addresses which create the fake traffic, as a way to ensure that the visits to your Internet site are authentic.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the ground breaking Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all cloud hosting accounts. It shall allow you to block addresses with just a few mouse clicks. No coding abilities are required, because you'll use an intuitive interface - you need to simply select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type in the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added inside the exact same section and whitelisting any of them will take simply a click. If you notice that your site is being flooded by different IPs, you'll be able to block an entire IP range too. This may be done by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you would like to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you only need 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 quite simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that will enable you to prohibit individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your sites with no more thanseveral mouse clicks and you shall not have any issues to accomplish that even if this is your first hosting account. Once you visit the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll just have to select the domain or subdomain you want from a drop-down list, then type in the IP address in a box that you'll see there and you will be ready. To prohibit the access for a whole network, you need to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you enter 123.123. and don't enter anything inside the third and fourth positions, our web server shall deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
