Once in a while you might need to block specific third parties from accessing your websites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and traffic. There's also spammers that leave links to questionable sites as comments to blog articles. Such things can significantly undermine your hard work, since nobody likes to visit a site with many hundreds of fake comments, also the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the web server in which your Internet site is hosted, that could result in your site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IPs which produce the fake traffic, in order to make certain that the visits to your site are real.

IP Blocking in Shared Web Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the innovative Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all shared web hosting accounts. It shall allow you to block addresses with simply several mouse clicks. No coding skills are required, because you'll use an intuitive interface - you just have to select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP address that you want to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses you have added in the exact same section and whitelisting any of them will take only a click. If you notice your website is being flooded by numerous IPs, you'll be able to block an entire IP range as well. This may be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you would like to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you just need to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts include a really simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that will enable you to prohibit individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your sites with simplya couple of clicks and you shall not have any problems to do that even if this is your first hosting account. Once you visit the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you'll only need to pick the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then input the IP address in a box that you'll see there and you will be all set. To limit the access for an entire network, you'll have to leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you input 123.123. and do not enter anything in the third and fourth positions, our hosting server shall deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
