Every now and then you might need to block certain third parties from accessing your sites. There are a lot of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and site traffic. There's also spammers who leave links to shady sites as comments to blog articles. This sort of things could significantly undermine your hard work, since no one likes to visit a website with many hundreds of fake comments, furthermore the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots may create high load on the web server where your Internet site is hosted, which can result in your site not working properly. Among the most effective solutions in this case is to block the IP addresses that create the fake traffic, in order to ensure that the visits to your website are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Shared Website Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the revolutionary Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all shared website hosting accounts. It will permit you to block addresses with only a few mouse clicks. No coding abilities are needed, as you will use an intuitive interface - you just have to select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added in the same section and whitelisting each of them will take only a mouse click. If you notice your website is being flooded by numerous IPs, you will be able to block an entire IP range as well. This could be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you wish to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you basically have to input 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'll permit you to prohibit individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your Internet sites with no more thana few clicks and you will not have any issues to achieve that even if this is your first hosting account. Once you check out the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will just need to select the domain or subdomain you want from a drop-down list, then type the IP address inside a box that you'll see there and you will be all set. To limit the access for a whole network, you need to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you enter 123.123. and do not type anything in the third and fourth positions, our server will deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
