Every now and then you might need to block certain third parties from accessing your sites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and generate fake visits and site traffic. Additionally, there are spammers that leave links to shady Internet sites as comments to site articles. This sort of things may greatly undermine your hard work, as nobody likes to visit a site with tons of fake comments, furthermore the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots may generate high load on the server in which your Internet site is hosted, which may result in the site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in such cases is to block the IP addresses that produce the fake traffic, in order to make certain that the visits to your Internet site are real.
IP Blocking in Hosting
Our hosting plans provide an IP blocking tool, so in case you want to restrict the access to your websites, you'll be able to do so with just a couple of clicks. The tool is part of the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts and that's quite simple to use. As soon as you log in and check out the IP blocking section, you shall just have to select a domain or a subdomain hosted inside the account and enter the IP address which needs to be blocked. Our system will enable you to block entire networks too, so if you type in 123.123.123., for example, this'll 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 may unblock it with a click from the same section.
