Every now and then you might need to block particular third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a lot of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and site traffic. Additionally, there are spammers who leave links to suspicious websites as comments to site articles. This sort of things can considerably undermine your hard work, simply because no one likes to visit a website with many fake comments, also the increased traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the server in which your Internet site is hosted, which can result in your site not working 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 legitimate.

IP Blocking in Shared Web Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the advanced Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all shared web hosting accounts. It'll allow you to block addresses with only a few mouse clicks. No coding abilities are necessary, as you will use an intuitive interface - you just need to select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses that you've added inside the same section and whitelisting each of them will take only a click. If you notice that your Internet site is being flooded by various IPs, you'll be able to block an entire IP range also. This could be performed by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you would like to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you only have to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
