Every now and then you might need to block certain third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and generate fake visits and site traffic. There are spammers that leave links to suspicious Internet sites as comments to blog articles. This kind of things may considerably undermine your work, since no one likes to visit a website with hundreds of fake comments, furthermore the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the server where your site is hosted, that could result in the site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in such a case is to block the IP addresses that produce the fake traffic, in order to be certain that the visits to your Internet site are real.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all shared hosting accounts. It will enable you to block addresses with just several clicks. No coding skills are needed, since you shall use an intuitive interface - you just have to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input 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 exact same section and whitelisting any of them will take only a click. If you notice your website is being flooded by various IPs, you shall be able to block a whole IP range as well. This can 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 just have to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts include a really simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll permit you to restrict individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your Internet sites with no more thana couple of mouse clicks and you shall not have any problems to accomplish that even if this is your first hosting account. When you navigate to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will just need to choose the domain or subdomain in question from a drop-down list, then type the IP address inside a box that you will see there and you will be all set. To prohibit the access for a whole network, you'll have to leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you type 123.123. and do not input anything within 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.
