Once in a while you may need to block particular third parties from accessing your websites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and create fake visits and traffic. There are also spammers who leave links to suspicious Internet sites as comments to site articles. This type of things could significantly undermine your hard work, simply because no one likes to visit an Internet site with tons of fake comments, also the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots may generate high load on the server on which your website is hosted, which could result in your site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in cases like this is to block the IPs which create the fake traffic, in order to make certain that the visits to your website are authentic.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

The tool is part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and that is super easy to use. When you log in and navigate to the IP blocking section, you'll just need to choose a domain or a subdomain hosted in the account and input the IP address which needs to be blocked. Our system enables you to block whole networks also, 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 websites. In case you wish to whitelist an IP at some point, you may unblock it with just a click from the same section.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with our Linux semi-dedicated hosting, will enable you to solve the challenge with unwanted traffic very quickly and easily. It features an IP blocking tool in which you can add IP addresses with only a few mouse clicks. All domains and subdomains that you have within the account shall be listed in a drop-down menu, so you only need to select the one you need and then input the IP address which has to be blocked. If you would like to block a whole range, a C-class network for instance, you simply need to input the first three octets of the IP and leave the last one blank. That will block all 254 addresses, so you will not have to input them manually. Because all the IPs which you add in this section shall be listed, you may effortlessly unblock any of them by clicking the Delete button relevant to the particular IP.
