Once in a while you may have to block certain third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a lot of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and create fake visits and online traffic. In addition, there are spammers who leave links to suspicious sites as comments to blog articles. This sort of things could greatly undermine your work, since nobody likes to visit a site with many fake comments, plus the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the server where your site is hosted, which may result in the site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in such cases is to block the IPs which generate the fake traffic, in order to be certain that the visits to your Internet site are authentic.

IP Blocking in Cloud Website Hosting

Our cloud website hosting include an IP blocking tool, so if you'd like to restrict the access to your websites, you'll be able to do so with just a few clicks. The tool is provided with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and which is a breeze to use. As you log in and visit the IP blocking section, you shall just need to choose a domain or a subdomain hosted in the account and type in the IP address that should be blocked. Our system will enable you to block entire networks too, so if you enter 123.123.123., for instance, this shall block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your Internet sites. In case you wish to whitelist an IP at some point, you'll be able to unblock it with just a mouse click from the same section.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts include a very simple-to-use IP blocking tool, which will permit you to prohibit individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your sites with no more thana couple of mouse clicks and you shall not have any issues to do that even if that is your first website hosting account. When you check out the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you'll only have to select the domain or subdomain in question from a drop-down list, then input the IP address inside a box which you'll see there and you will be good to go. To restrict the access for a whole network, you will need to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you type 123.123. and don't input anything in the third and fourth positions, our web server shall deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
