Every now and then you may have to block particular third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a lot of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and create fake visits and online traffic. There are also spammers that leave links to suspicious websites as comments to blog articles. This kind of things can drastically undermine your hard work, because no one likes to visit a website with countless fake comments, plus the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the server where your Internet site is hosted, that could result in your site not working properly. Among the most effective solutions in this case is to block the IPs which create the fake traffic, so as to make certain that the visits to your website are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Shared Website Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all shared website hosting accounts. It'll permit you to block addresses with only several clicks. No coding skills are needed, as you'll use an intuitive interface - you simply need to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type in the IP address that you want to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses that you've added inside the very same section and whitelisting each of them shall take simply a click. If you notice that your site is being flooded by different IPs, you will be able to block a whole IP range as well. This can be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you need to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you just have to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with a very simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll enable you to restrict individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your sites with no more thanseveral clicks and you will not have any problems to accomplish that even if that is your first website hosting account. When you go to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will just need to pick the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then input the IP address within a box that you'll see there and you will be good to go. To prohibit the access for a whole network, you need to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you type in 123.123. and do not input 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.
