Occasionally you might need to block specific third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are plenty of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and create fake visits and online traffic. There are also spammers who leave links to shady Internet sites as comments to blog articles. This type of things may significantly undermine your projects, since nobody likes to visit an Internet site with countless fake comments, plus the increased traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the web server where your site is hosted, that can result in the site not functioning properly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IPs which produce the fake traffic, as a way to be certain that the visits to your website are authentic.

IP Blocking in Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting CP, provided with all hosting accounts. It'll allow you to block addresses with only a couple of mouse clicks. No coding skills are needed, as you shall use an intuitive interface - you just have to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You'll be able to see all the IP addresses that you've added in the same section and whitelisting any of them shall take just a click. If you notice that your Internet site is being flooded by different IPs, you will be able to block an entire IP range as well. This could be done by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you wish to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you only need to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts feature a really simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll permit you to prohibit individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your sites with onlya few mouse clicks and you shall not have any difficulties to achieve that even if that is your first hosting account. As soon as you go to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will only need to pick the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then type the IP address within a box which you'll see there and you will be ready. To limit the access for an entire network, you must leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you input 123.123. and do not type anything in the third and fourth positions, our server shall deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
