From time to time you may have to block certain third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are plenty of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and generate fake visits and traffic. In addition, there are spammers who leave links to suspicious sites as comments to site articles. This type of things could greatly undermine your work, as nobody likes to visit an Internet site with tons of fake comments, furthermore the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the web server where your website is hosted, which may result in the site not working properly. Among the most effective solutions in such a case is to block the IPs which produce the fake traffic, so as to be sure that the visits to your website are real.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting CP, provided with all cloud hosting accounts. It shall permit you to block addresses with simply several mouse clicks. No coding abilities are needed, since you shall use an intuitive interface - you just have to select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type in the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You'll be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added in the very same section and whitelisting any of them will take only a click. If you notice your website is being flooded by different IPs, you shall be able to block an entire IP range as well. This could be done by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you need to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you just have to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
