From time to time you might need to block specific third parties from accessing your websites. There are a lot of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and website traffic. There are spammers who leave links to questionable websites as comments to website articles. This kind of things can significantly undermine your work, because nobody likes to visit a site with many fake comments, also the increased traffic from both spammers and bots may generate high load on the server on which your website is hosted, which could result in the site not working properly. One of the best solutions in cases like this is to block the IPs which create the fake traffic, as a way to be certain that the visits to your website are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Web Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the advanced Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all web hosting accounts. It shall allow you to block addresses with just a couple of clicks. No coding abilities are required, because you will use an intuitive interface - you just have to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP address you want to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added in the very same section and whitelisting each of them will take simply a mouse click. If you notice your site is being flooded by various 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 wish to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you only have to input 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
