Once in a while you may need to block particular third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a lot of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and generate fake visits and traffic. There are spammers that leave links to suspicious sites as comments to site articles. This kind of things may significantly undermine your projects, since no one likes to visit an Internet site with countless fake comments, also the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the web server where your Internet site is hosted, that can result in the site not working properly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IP addresses that create the fake traffic, in order to ensure that the visits to your Internet site are real.

IP Blocking in Hosting

If you have a hosting account with us and you wish to block one or a number of IP addresses, you could use the IP Blocking tool, that's integrated into our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. By using a really simple interface, you can stop any IP from accessing your content even if you have never had a web hosting account before. All it requires to perform that is to log inside to your CP, to go to the IP Blocking section, to pick a particular domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to enter the IP address. You'll not have to do anything difficult if you would like to block a whole network - you'll just need to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot shall block the full range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs will be listed in the very same section, so you will be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with just a click.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

You'll be able to block IP addresses with ease and stop the unwelcome traffic to any Internet site hosted in a semi-dedicated server account with us, considering the fact that we offer a very easy-to-use tool to do that, that's part of our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you have never addressed this sort of problems in the past, you shall not have any difficulties, considering that our tool includes a very user-friendly interface. Once you visit the IP blocking section of the Control Panel, you shall find a comprehensive list of all the domains and subdomains which you have added within the Hosted Domains section. What you need to do to block an IP address is select the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then enter the IP in the box below. The change will take effect immediately, so you will not get any traffic from this address in the future. Taking away an IP from the blocked list is equally quick.
