From time to time you might need to block particular third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are plenty of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and generate fake visits and site traffic. Additionally, there are spammers who leave links to questionable Internet sites as comments to website articles. This kind of things could significantly undermine your hard work, since nobody likes to visit a site with many fake comments, not to mention that the increased traffic from both spammers and bots may generate high load on the web server in which your site is hosted, which may result in the site not functioning properly. One of the best solutions in cases like this is to block the IPs that generate the fake traffic, in order to make certain that the visits to your Internet site are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all hosting accounts. It shall permit you to block addresses with just a couple of mouse clicks. No coding skills are necessary, because you shall use an intuitive interface - you just need to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you want to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added in the same section and whitelisting each of them will take simply a click. If you notice that your site is being flooded by various IPs, you'll be able to block a whole IP range also. This can be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you need to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you basically have to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
