Once in a while you may need to block specific third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are plenty of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and generate fake visits and site traffic. There are also spammers who leave links to questionable websites as comments to blog articles. Such things could significantly undermine your hard work, simply because no one likes to visit an Internet site with many fake comments, furthermore the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the server where your site is hosted, which may result in your site not functioning properly. One of the best solutions in such a case is to block the IP addresses which create the fake traffic, as a way to make sure that the visits to your site are real.

IP Blocking in Web Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the revolutionary Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all web hosting accounts. It'll allow you to block addresses with simply a few mouse clicks. No coding skills are required, as you'll use an intuitive interface - you just have to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address you want to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses that you've added within the same section and whitelisting each of them will take simply a click. If you notice your website is being flooded by various IPs, you'll be able to block an entire IP range as well. This may be done by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you want 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 Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with a rather simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll allow you to prohibit individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your Internet sites with no more thanseveral mouse clicks and you won't have any problems to accomplish that even if this is your first web hosting account. Once you check out the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will only have to pick the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then type in the IP address within a box that you will see there and you will be good to go. To prohibit the access for an entire network, you will need to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you enter 123.123. and do not enter anything in the third and fourth positions, our hosting server shall deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
