From time to time you might need to block particular third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are plenty of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and site traffic. There's also spammers who leave links to questionable websites as comments to blog articles. Such things can drastically undermine your hard work, as nobody likes to visit an Internet site with tons of fake comments, not to mention that the increased traffic from both spammers and bots can generate high load on the web server where your Internet site is hosted, that could result in the site not working properly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IP addresses that create the fake traffic, so as to ensure that the visits to your website are real.

IP Blocking in Website Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is included with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all website hosting accounts. It shall enable you to block addresses with several mouse clicks. No coding skills are required, since you will use an intuitive interface - you just have to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you want to be blocked. You'll be able to see all the IP addresses you have added in the exact same section and whitelisting each of them shall take only a mouse click. If you notice that your Internet site is being flooded by various IPs, you'll be able to block a whole IP range also. This may be done 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 basically need to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts feature a very simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that will permit you to prohibit individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your Internet sites with onlya few mouse clicks and you will not have any troubles to accomplish that even if that's your first website hosting account. When you navigate to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you'll only have to pick the domain or subdomain in question 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 prohibit the access for a whole network, you'll have to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you input 123.123. and do not enter anything in the third and fourth positions, our hosting server will deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
