Every now and then you might need to block specific third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a lot of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and website traffic. Additionally, there are spammers who leave links to questionable Internet sites as comments to website articles. This sort of things can considerably undermine your projects, as no one likes to visit an Internet site with hundreds of fake comments, furthermore the increased traffic from both spammers and bots may generate high load on the server in which your website is hosted, which may result in your site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IP addresses which create the fake traffic, so as to be sure that the visits to your Internet site are authentic.

IP Blocking in Cloud Website Hosting

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

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts come with a quite simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that will enable you to restrict individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your Internet sites with justa couple of mouse clicks and you won't have any difficulties to accomplish that even if that's your first hosting account. Once you go to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll simply have to choose the domain or subdomain you want from a drop-down list, then input the IP address within a box which you'll see there and you will be ready. To restrict the access for a whole network, you have to leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you type in 123.123. and don't type anything within the third and fourth positions, our hosting server will deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
