Occasionally you may have to block certain third parties from accessing your sites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and generate fake visits and site traffic. There's also spammers who leave links to questionable Internet sites as comments to website articles. Such things may greatly undermine your hard work, as no one likes to visit an Internet site with many fake comments, not to mention that the increased traffic from both spammers and bots may create high load on the web server where your Internet site is hosted, that could result in your site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in cases like this is to block the IPs which create the fake traffic, so as to make certain that the visits to your Internet site are real.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the revolutionary Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all cloud hosting accounts. It will permit you to block addresses with just a couple of clicks. No coding skills are required, as you shall use an intuitive interface - you just need to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type in the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You'll be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added in the same section and whitelisting each of them will take only a click. If you notice your Internet site is being flooded by various IPs, you'll be able to block an entire IP range also. This can be done 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 just have to input 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts feature a really simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll permit you to restrict individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your websites with justa couple of mouse clicks and you will not have any issues to accomplish that even if that's your first web hosting account. As soon as you visit 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 in a box which you'll see there and you will be good to go. To prohibit the access for an entire network, you must leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you type in 123.123. and do not type in anything within the third and fourth positions, our server shall deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
