Occasionally you might need to block certain third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a lot of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and site traffic. Additionally, there are spammers that leave links to shady sites as comments to site articles. This sort of things can significantly undermine your projects, because nobody likes to visit an Internet site with tons of fake comments, plus the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the web server on which your site is hosted, which can result in the site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in such a case is to block the IPs that produce the fake traffic, as a way to make sure that the visits to your website are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the advanced Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all cloud hosting accounts. It shall permit you to block addresses with simply a couple of clicks. No coding abilities are needed, since you shall use an intuitive interface - you simply need to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type in the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added inside the exact same section and whitelisting any of them will take simply a mouse click. If you notice your Internet site is being flooded by numerous IPs, you will be able to block an entire IP range too. 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 basically have to input 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
