From time to time you may have to block certain third parties from accessing your websites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and create fake visits and site traffic. There's also spammers that leave links to suspicious Internet sites as comments to site articles. This sort of things can greatly undermine your hard work, since no one likes to visit a website with tons of fake comments, not to mention that the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots may generate high load on the web server where your site is hosted, that can result in the site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in cases like this is to block the IPs which create the fake traffic, so as to ensure that the visits to your site are authentic.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

Our Linux cloud hosting feature an IP blocking tool, so if you'd like to restrict the access to your sites, you will be able to do this with only a couple of mouse clicks. The tool is part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and that is quite simple to use. Once you log in and check out the IP blocking section, you shall just need to pick a domain or a subdomain hosted in the account and type the IP address that should be blocked. Our system will permit you to block whole networks too, so if you type 123.123.123., for example, this'll block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your websites. In case you would like to whitelist an IP at some point, you may unblock it with just a mouse click from the same section.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You shall be able to block IP addresses with ease and stop the unwanted traffic to any website hosted in a semi-dedicated server account with us, since we offer you a rather easy-to-use tool to do that, that is provided with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you have never dealt with such problems in the past, you won't have any difficulties, as our tool features a very user-friendly interface. When you visit the IP blocking section of the CP, you shall find a complete list of all the domains and subdomains that you have added within the Hosted Domains section. What you need to do to block an IP address is pick the desired domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and type in the IP within the box below. The change shall take effect instantly, so you'll not get any traffic from this address in the future. Taking away an IP from the blocked list is just as easy.
