Once in a while you may need to block particular third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a lot of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and traffic. Additionally, there are spammers who leave links to questionable Internet sites as comments to site articles. This type of things may greatly undermine your hard work, simply because no one likes to visit an Internet site with countless fake comments, not to mention that the increased traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the server on which your site is hosted, which may result in the site not working properly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IP addresses which create the fake traffic, in order to make certain that the visits to your website are authentic.

IP Blocking in Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is included with the advanced Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all hosting accounts. It'll allow you to block addresses with simply a few clicks. No coding skills are necessary, due to the fact that you shall use an intuitive interface - you need to simply pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added within the exact same section and whitelisting each of them shall take just a mouse click. If you notice that your site is being flooded by various IPs, you will be able to block an entire IP range also. This could 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 just need to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with our semi-dedicated servers, will enable you to solve the problem with unwanted traffic very efficiently. It features an IP blocking tool in which you can add IP addresses with just several clicks. All domains and subdomains you have within the account shall be listed in a drop-down menu, so you just have to choose the one you need and then type the IP address that needs to be blocked. If you want to block an entire range, a C-class network for instance, you just need to input the first 3 octets of the IP and leave the last one blank. This will block all 254 addresses, so you will not need to type them manually. As all the IPs you add in this section shall be listed, you may very easily unblock any of them by clicking the Delete button associated with the particular IP.
