Occasionally you may have to block certain third parties from accessing your sites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and online traffic. There are spammers who leave links to shady sites as comments to site articles. This type of things can significantly undermine your projects, simply because no one likes to visit a site with many hundreds of fake comments, also the increased site 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 IPs which generate the fake traffic, so as to be sure that the visits to your Internet site are authentic.

IP Blocking in Cloud Website Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the ground breaking Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all cloud website hosting accounts. It'll allow you to block addresses with simply a few mouse clicks. No coding skills are needed, since you'll 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'd like to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added in the exact same section and whitelisting any of them will take only a mouse click. If you notice that your site is being flooded by various IPs, you will be able to block a whole IP range also. This can be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you wish to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you only have to input 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
