Every now and then you might need to block certain third parties from accessing your sites. There are plenty of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and create fake visits and traffic. There's also spammers who leave links to questionable Internet sites as comments to site articles. This kind of things could significantly undermine your projects, since no one likes to visit an Internet site with many hundreds of fake comments, plus the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the web server in which your site is hosted, which may result in the site not working properly. Among the most effective solutions in this case is to block the IPs that produce the fake traffic, in order to make certain that the visits to your Internet site are real.
IP Blocking in Hosting
Our IP Blocking tool is included with the innovative Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all hosting accounts. It'll enable you to block addresses with just several mouse clicks. No coding abilities are necessary, due to the fact that you will use an intuitive interface - you simply need to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you want to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses you have added within the very same section and whitelisting any of them will take just a mouse click. If you notice your website is being flooded by different IPs, you shall be able to block an entire IP range also. This may be done 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 just have to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You'll be able to block IP addresses with ease and stop the unwanted traffic to any site hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account with us, since we offer a rather easy-to-use tool to do that, that is our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you have never addressed such problems in the past, you will not have any difficulties, since our tool provides a very user-friendly interface. Once you check out the IP blocking section of the Control Panel, you shall find a comprehensive list of all the domains and subdomains that you have added within the Hosted Domains section. All you have to 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 will take effect at once, so you will not get any traffic from this address in the future. Removing an IP from the blocked list is equally quick.
