Every now and then you might need to block specific third parties from accessing your websites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and create fake visits and site traffic. Additionally, there are spammers that leave links to suspicious sites as comments to site articles. This kind of things could drastically undermine your hard work, because nobody likes to visit a website with hundreds of fake comments, not to mention that the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots can generate high load on the web server where your website is hosted, which can result in your site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in such a case is to block the IP addresses that create the fake traffic, so as to be certain that the visits to your site are authentic.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

If you have a shared hosting account with us and you would like to block one or a number of IP addresses, you could use the IP Blocking tool, that is included in our in-house built Hepsia CP. Using a really simple interface, you are able to prevent 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 input the IP address. You simply won't need to do anything complex if you want to block an entire network - you'll simply have to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot will block the full range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed inside the exact same section, so you will be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with just a click.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You will be able to block IP addresses without difficulty and stop the undesirable traffic to any Internet site hosted within a semi-dedicated server account with our company, because we offer a very easy-to-use tool to do that, that's our Hepsia hosting CP. Even if you have never addressed this kind of matters in the past, you will not have any difficulties, considering that our tool features a very user-friendly interface. As you check out the IP blocking section of the Control Panel, you'll find a complete list of all the domains and subdomains that you've added in the Hosted Domains section. All you should do to block an IP address is pick the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP in the box below. The change shall take effect at once, so you'll not get any traffic from this address in the future. Removing an IP from the blocked list is equally simple.
