Once in a while you may have to block certain third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and site traffic. There are also spammers who leave links to shady sites as comments to site articles. Such things may considerably undermine your work, as no one likes to visit a site with many fake comments, furthermore the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the web server on which your website is hosted, which can result in your site not functioning properly. One of the best solutions in such a case is to block the IPs that create the fake traffic, as a way to be sure that the visits to your site are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Website Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is included with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting Control Panel, offered with all website hosting accounts. It shall allow you to block addresses with several mouse clicks. No coding skills are needed, as you'll use an intuitive interface - you need to simply pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You'll be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added within the very same section and whitelisting each of them shall take only a click. If you notice that your website is being flooded by numerous IPs, you will be able to block an entire IP range also. This may be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you would like to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you just have to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts feature a rather simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll enable you to prohibit individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your Internet sites with no more thana few clicks and you will not have any problems to accomplish that even if this is your first website hosting account. As soon as you navigate to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you'll just need to pick the domain or subdomain you want from a drop-down list, then input the IP address in a box that you'll see there and you will be ready. To limit the access for a whole network, you'll have to leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you type in 123.123. and don't enter anything in the third and fourth positions, our hosting server shall deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
