From time to time 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 generate fake visits and site traffic. There are spammers who leave links to suspicious websites as comments to site articles. This kind of things could significantly undermine your hard work, because nobody likes to visit a site with many fake comments, not to mention that the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots may create high load on the server in which your Internet site is hosted, that could result in your site not working properly. Among the most effective solutions in such a case is to block the IP addresses which produce the fake traffic, so as to be sure that the visits to your website are real.

IP Blocking in Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the advanced Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all hosting accounts. It will permit you to block addresses with a couple of clicks. No coding skills are required, due to the fact that you will use an intuitive interface - you simply need to select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added inside the exact same section and whitelisting each of them shall take just a mouse click. If you notice that your website is being flooded by different IPs, you'll be able to block an entire IP range as well. This may be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you wish to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you only need to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with a really simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll permit you to prohibit individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your Internet sites with onlyseveral clicks and you will not have any issues to do that even if that's your first web hosting account. As soon as you navigate to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll just need to choose the domain or subdomain you want from a drop-down list, then input the IP address within a box that you'll see there and you will be all set. To restrict the access for a whole network, you'll have to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you type 123.123. and do not enter anything within 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.
