Once in a while you may have to block particular third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a lot of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and generate fake visits and site traffic. There are spammers that leave links to questionable sites as comments to blog articles. This kind of things could considerably undermine your projects, simply because nobody likes to visit an Internet site with many fake comments, furthermore the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the server in which your site is hosted, which may result in the site not functioning properly. Among the most effective solutions in such cases is to block the IP addresses which create the fake traffic, so as to ensure that the visits to your Internet site are authentic.

IP Blocking in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting service feature an IP blocking tool, so if you would like to restrict the access to your sites, it shall be able to do so with just a couple of mouse clicks. The tool is included with the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts and that is super easy to use. As soon as you log in and check out the IP blocking section, you will just have to pick a domain or a subdomain hosted within the account and type the IP address that should be blocked. Our system allows you to block whole networks too, so if you type 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. If you would like to whitelist an IP at some point, you'll be able to unblock it with a click from the same section.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts include a rather simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that will permit you to prohibit individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your sites with onlya couple of clicks and you won't have any problems to accomplish that even if that's your first hosting account. As soon as you navigate to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will only need to select the domain or subdomain in question from a drop-down list, then type the IP address in a box that you'll see there and you will be all set. To prohibit the access for an entire network, you need to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you enter 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.
