From time to time you may have to block certain third parties from accessing your sites. There are a lot of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and create fake visits and traffic. There are also spammers that leave links to shady sites as comments to site articles. This sort of things may significantly undermine your hard work, because nobody likes to visit a site with hundreds of fake comments, furthermore the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots may generate high load on the web server on which your Internet site is hosted, which can result in the site not functioning properly. One of the best solutions in such cases is to block the IPs which create the fake traffic, in order to be certain that the visits to your Internet site are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is included with the ground breaking Hepsia hosting CP, provided with all cloud hosting accounts. It will enable you to block addresses with only a couple of mouse clicks. No coding skills are needed, due to the fact that you shall use an intuitive interface - you just need to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added within the very same section and whitelisting each of them will take just a click. If you notice that your site is being flooded by different IPs, you'll be able to block an entire IP range too. This may be performed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you need to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you simply have to enter 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 will enable you to restrict individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your websites with onlya few mouse clicks and you will not have any problems to achieve that even if that's your first website hosting account. When you go to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will only need to choose the domain or subdomain you want from a drop-down list, then input the IP address inside a box that you'll see there and you will be ready. To restrict the access for a whole network, you have to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you input 123.123. and don't input anything within the third and fourth positions, our web server will deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
