From time to time you may need to block particular third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a lot of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and generate fake visits and traffic. There's also spammers that leave links to suspicious websites as comments to website articles. This type of things could drastically undermine your projects, because nobody likes to visit a website with countless fake comments, plus the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots can generate high load on the server in which your Internet site is hosted, that could result in the site not working properly. One of the best solutions in such a case is to block the IP addresses that produce the fake traffic, as a way to be certain that the visits to your Internet site are authentic.

IP Blocking in Cloud Website Hosting

Our cloud website hosting offer an IP blocking tool, so if you would like to restrict the access to your Internet sites, it shall be able to do this with only a couple of mouse clicks. The tool is part of the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts and which is very simple to use. As you log in and navigate to the IP blocking section, you shall just have to pick a domain or a subdomain hosted inside the account and input the IP address which needs to be blocked. Our system allows you to block entire networks as well, so if you type in 123.123.123., for instance, this will block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your websites. If you would like to whitelist an IP at some point, you'll be able to unblock it with a mouse click from the same section.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts include a really simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that will permit you to restrict individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your sites with onlya few clicks and you won't have any troubles to do that even if that is your first hosting account. As soon as you check out the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll just need to select the domain or subdomain in question from a drop-down list, then enter the IP address inside a box which you'll see there and you will be all set. To limit the access for a whole network, you have to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you input 123.123. and do not type anything in the third and fourth positions, our server will deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
