Occasionally you may need to block certain third parties from accessing your websites. There are a lot of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and website traffic. There are also spammers who leave links to suspicious Internet sites as comments to blog articles. This sort of things may significantly undermine your hard work, simply because nobody likes to visit an Internet site with tons of fake comments, not to mention that the increased traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the web server in which your Internet site is hosted, which can result in your site not functioning properly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IPs which create the fake traffic, so as to be certain that the visits to your Internet site are authentic.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

If you have a shared hosting account with our company and you wish to block one or several IP addresses, you can use the IP Blocking tool, which is incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia CP. By using a pretty simple interface, you can restrict 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 in to your Control Panel, to navigate 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 won't have to do anything complicated if you would like to block an entire 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 entire range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed in the very same section, so you shall be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with simply a click.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to block IP addresses easily and stop the undesirable traffic to any Internet site hosted in a semi-dedicated server account with our company, considering the fact that we provide a really easy-to-use tool to do that, which is our Hepsia hosting CP. Even if you have never tackled such problems in the past, you will not have any difficulties, since our tool provides a very user-friendly interface. Once you check out the IP blocking section of the CP, you shall find a comprehensive list of all the domains and subdomains which you have added within the Hosted Domains section. All you have to do to block an IP address is choose the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP within the box below. The change will take effect instantly, so you will not get any traffic from this address in the future. Removing an IP from the blocked list is just as easy.
