Occasionally you may have to block particular third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and create fake visits and traffic. In addition, there are spammers that leave links to suspicious websites as comments to website articles. This sort of things may drastically undermine your hard work, simply because nobody likes to visit an Internet site with countless fake comments, plus the increased traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the web server on which your Internet site is hosted, which could result in the site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in such cases is to block the IP addresses that generate the fake traffic, as a way to be sure that the visits to your website are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Website Hosting

Our website hosting provide an IP blocking tool, so if you would like to restrict the access to your websites, you'll be able to do this with simply a couple of mouse clicks. The tool is included with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and that is a breeze to use. When you log in and go to the IP blocking section, you shall just need to pick a domain or a subdomain hosted within the account and type the IP address which should be blocked. Our system will enable you to block whole networks too, so if you input 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. If you want to whitelist an IP at some point, you may unblock it with a click from the same section.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you host your websites in a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you need to block one or numerous IP addresses at some point, you'll be able to take advantage of the easy-to-use blocking tool, that we've provided with our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. With several clicks, you will be able to block specific IPs or whole ranges, if necessary. All you shall need to do is pick any one of your domains or subdomains from a drop-down menu, select if the blocking needs to be valid for the root folder or for a subfolder that's part of the Internet site, and then type the IP address you want to block. For an IP range, you just have to omit the last octet or the last two octets of the address in accordance with the size of the network you want to block. All the addresses which you have restricted will be listed inside the exact same section and if you want to whitelist any one of them, you'll be able to do it with a mouse click at any time.
