Every now and then you might need to block certain third parties from accessing your websites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and generate fake visits and online traffic. There are spammers who leave links to suspicious websites as comments to website articles. Such things could drastically undermine your projects, simply because no one likes to visit an Internet site with countless fake comments, not to mention that the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the server where your Internet site is hosted, that could result in the site not working properly. One of the best solutions in such a case is to block the IPs which generate the fake traffic, as a way to be sure that the visits to your website are legitimate.
IP Blocking in Web Hosting
Our IP Blocking tool comes with the innovative Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all web hosting accounts. It'll permit you to block addresses with a few mouse clicks. No coding skills are needed, since you will use an intuitive interface - you just need to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You'll be able to see all the IP addresses you have added inside the very same section and whitelisting each of them shall take just a mouse click. If you notice that your Internet site is being flooded by numerous IPs, you will be able to block an entire IP range as well. This may be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you would like to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you just need to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will be able to block IP addresses easily and stop the undesirable traffic to any site hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account with us, considering the fact that we offer a rather easy-to-use tool to do that, that's included with our Hepsia hosting CP.

As you navigate to the IP blocking section of the Control Panel, you'll find a full list of all the domains and subdomains that you've added in the Hosted Domains section. All you need to do to block an IP address is choose the desired domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then enter the IP within the box below. The change shall take effect right away, so you'll not get any traffic from this address in the future. Removing an IP from the blocked list is equally quick.
