Once in a while you may have to block certain third parties from accessing your sites. There are plenty of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and generate fake visits and website traffic. There are also spammers that leave links to questionable sites as comments to blog articles. This kind of things could considerably undermine your hard work, since nobody likes to visit a site with hundreds of fake comments, not to mention that the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the web server in which your site is hosted, which may result in your site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in such a case is to block the IPs which create the fake traffic, in order to make sure that the visits to your site are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is included with the innovative Hepsia hosting CP, provided with all hosting accounts. It will enable you to block addresses with a few mouse clicks. No coding skills are needed, as you will use an intuitive interface - you just have to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP address that you want to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added inside the very same section and whitelisting each of them will take just a mouse click. If you notice that your Internet site is being flooded by various IPs, you will be able to block a whole IP range as well. This may be performed 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 simply need to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to block IP addresses without difficulty and stop the unwelcome traffic to any Internet site hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account with us, because we provide a rather easy-to-use tool to do that, that's part of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you have not dealt with this type of problems in the past, you will not have any difficulties, as our tool provides a very user-friendly interface. When you go to the IP blocking section of the Control Panel, you'll find a complete list of all the domains and subdomains that you have added inside the Hosted Domains section. All you should do to block an IP address is select the desired domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then enter the IP in the box below. The change shall take effect immediately, so you will not get any traffic from this address in the future. Taking away an IP from the blocked list is equally quick.
