Every now and then you may need to block specific third parties from accessing your sites. There are a lot of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and create fake visits and website traffic. Additionally, there are spammers who leave links to suspicious websites as comments to site articles. This sort of things may greatly undermine your work, as nobody likes to visit a website with hundreds of fake comments, plus the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots may create high load on the server where your website is hosted, that could result in the site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in such cases is to block the IP addresses which produce the fake traffic, in order to be sure that the visits to your Internet site are authentic.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

If you have a cloud hosting account with us and you would like 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. Through a really simple interface, you could stop any IP from accessing your content even if you have not had a web hosting account before. All it takes to complete that is to log inside to your Control Panel, to go to the IP Blocking section, to select a certain domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to type in the IP address. You won't have to do anything complicated if you wish to block an entire network - you'll just have to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot shall block the full range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs will be listed inside the same section, so you shall be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with a click.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You shall be able to block IP addresses easily and stop the unwelcome traffic to any website hosted in a semi-dedicated server account with us, since we provide a really easy-to-use tool to do that, which is included with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you have not addressed this type of issues in the past, you won't have any difficulties, since our tool provides a very user-friendly interface. When you go to the IP blocking section of the Control Panel, you shall find a full list of all the domains and subdomains which you have added within the Hosted Domains section. All you need to do to block an IP address is choose the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then enter the IP inside the box below. The change shall take effect straightaway, so you will not get any traffic from this address in the future. Taking away an IP from the blocked list is equally simple.
