Every now and then you might need to block particular third parties from accessing your sites. There are plenty of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and create fake visits and website traffic. Additionally, there are spammers who leave links to suspicious sites as comments to site articles. This kind of things may significantly undermine your work, since nobody likes to visit a site with many fake comments, not to mention that the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the web server on which your website is hosted, which could result in your site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in this case is to block the IP addresses that create the fake traffic, so as to be sure that the visits to your Internet site are real.

IP Blocking in Shared Website Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all shared website hosting accounts. It shall permit you to block addresses with simply a few clicks. No coding abilities are required, since you will use an intuitive interface - you just have to select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address you want to be blocked. You'll be able to see all the IP addresses you have added inside the very same section and whitelisting any of them shall take only a click. If you notice your Internet site is being flooded by numerous IPs, you will be able to block an entire IP range also. This may be performed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you want to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you basically need 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 rather simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that will allow you to prohibit individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your Internet sites with simplyseveral clicks and you shall not have any difficulties to accomplish that even if that's your first website hosting account. As soon as you visit the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will simply have to choose the domain or subdomain in question from a drop-down list, then enter 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 example, if you type 123.123. and don't type in 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.
