Once in a while you might need to block particular third parties from accessing your websites. There are a lot of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and create fake visits and website traffic. Additionally, there are spammers who leave links to questionable websites as comments to blog articles. Such things may drastically undermine your projects, since nobody likes to visit a website with countless fake comments, not to mention that the increased traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the server in which your Internet site is hosted, that can result in your site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in such a case is to block the IP addresses that produce the fake traffic, as a way to ensure that the visits to your website are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Cloud Web Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the advanced Hepsia hosting Control Panel, offered with all cloud web hosting accounts. It will permit you to block addresses with simply several mouse clicks. No coding skills are necessary, because you will use an intuitive interface - you just need to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added within the exact same section and whitelisting each of them shall take simply a click. If you notice your site is being flooded by numerous IPs, you will be able to block an entire IP range also. This could 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 only need to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts feature a very simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that will allow you to prohibit individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your Internet sites with justseveral clicks and you shall not have any troubles to achieve that even if this is your first web hosting account. When you navigate to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you'll simply have to select the domain or subdomain you want from a drop-down list, then input the IP address in a box which you'll see there and you will be good to go. To limit the access for an entire network, you will need to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you type 123.123. and don't enter 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.
