Every now and then you might need to block particular third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are plenty of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and generate fake visits and traffic. There are also spammers that leave links to suspicious Internet sites as comments to blog articles. This kind of things could significantly undermine your hard work, because no one likes to visit an Internet site with tons of fake comments, furthermore the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the server where your website is hosted, which may result in your site not functioning properly. Among the most effective solutions in such a case is to block the IP addresses that produce the fake traffic, as a way to make sure that the visits to your site are real.
IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting
Our IP Blocking tool is included with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all cloud hosting accounts. It'll allow you to block addresses with simply several clicks. No coding skills are required, since you shall use an intuitive interface - you just need to select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses that you've added within the same section and whitelisting any of them shall take simply a click. If you notice your website is being flooded by different IPs, you shall be able to block an entire IP range too. This may be done by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you need 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 .
