From time to time you might need to block particular third parties from accessing your websites. There are plenty of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and generate fake visits and website traffic. There are spammers that leave links to suspicious sites as comments to site articles. This kind of things may drastically undermine your hard work, because no one likes to visit an Internet site with countless fake comments, plus the increased traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the web server where your site is hosted, that can result in your site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IPs which create the fake traffic, so as to make certain that the visits to your Internet site are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

If you have a cloud hosting account with our company and you want to block one or several IP addresses, you can use the IP Blocking tool, that is incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. By using a pretty simple interface, you can restrict any IP from accessing your content even if you have never had a web hosting account before. All it requires to complete this is to log in to your CP, to visit the IP Blocking section, to choose a specific domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to type in the IP address. You won't have to do anything difficult if you wish to block a whole network - you will just have to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot will block the whole range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed inside the same exact section, so you'll be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with a mouse click.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to block IP addresses easily and stop the unwanted traffic to any Internet site hosted within a semi-dedicated server account with our company, as we offer a really easy-to-use tool to do that, which is part of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you haven't addressed this type of problems in the past, you'll not have any difficulties, because our tool provides a very user-friendly interface. When you navigate to the IP blocking section of the CP, you shall find a complete list of all the domains and subdomains that you've added inside the Hosted Domains section. What you need to do to block an IP address is choose the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP within the box below. The change shall take effect instantly, so you will not get any traffic from this address in the future. Removing an IP from the blocked list is equally simple.
