Occasionally you may have to block certain third parties from accessing your websites. There are a lot of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and site traffic. In addition, there are spammers that leave links to shady Internet sites as comments to website articles. This type of things could drastically undermine your hard work, since nobody likes to visit a site with hundreds of fake comments, not to mention that the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots can generate high load on the server in which your website is hosted, that could result in your site not working properly. Among the most effective solutions in such cases is to block the IPs which create the fake traffic, so as to make certain that the visits to your Internet site are authentic.

IP Blocking in Web Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the ground breaking Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all web hosting accounts. It will permit you to block addresses with just several clicks. No coding abilities are necessary, due to the fact that you'll use an intuitive interface - you simply need to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP address you want to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses you have added inside the same section and whitelisting any of them shall take only a mouse click. If you notice that your site is being flooded by different IPs, you will be able to block a whole IP range as well. This can be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you need to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you just need to type in 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 allow you to prohibit individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your websites with onlya couple of clicks and you will not have any troubles to do that even if this is your first web hosting account. Once you check out the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you'll just have to pick the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then type the IP address within a box that you will see there and you will be ready. To limit the access for an entire network, you need to leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you type 123.123. and do not type anything within 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.
