Every now and then you may have to block particular third parties from accessing your sites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and website traffic. Additionally, there are spammers who leave links to questionable sites as comments to blog articles. This kind of things can drastically undermine your hard work, because no one likes to visit a site with tons of fake comments, plus the increased traffic from both spammers and bots can generate high load on the web server in which your Internet site is hosted, which may result in the site not working properly. One of the best solutions in cases like this is to block the IPs which generate the fake traffic, so as to be sure that the visits to your website are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Cloud Website Hosting

If you have a cloud website hosting account with our company and you want to block one or a number of IP addresses, you can use the IP Blocking tool, that is integrated into our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. By using a really simple interface, you are able to stop any IP from accessing your content even if you have never had a web hosting account before. All it requires to perform this is to log inside to your CP, to go to the IP Blocking section, to pick a certain domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to input the IP address. You simply won't need to do anything challenging if you wish to block an entire network - you will just need to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot will block the entire range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs will be listed inside the same exact section, so you will be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with just a mouse click.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with a very simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll permit you to restrict individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your sites with simplya few mouse clicks and you won't have any troubles to achieve that even if that is your first website hosting account. When you navigate to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you will simply have to choose the domain or subdomain you want from a drop-down list, then type the IP address inside 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 enter 123.123. and don't input anything within the third and fourth positions, our server will deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
