From time to time you may have to block certain third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a lot of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and site traffic. There are spammers who leave links to suspicious sites as comments to website articles. This sort of things can drastically undermine your projects, because nobody likes to visit a site with many hundreds of fake comments, furthermore the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the server in which your website is hosted, which could result in the site not working properly. Among the most effective solutions in such a case is to block the IPs that generate the fake traffic, so as to make certain that the visits to your website are real.
IP Blocking in Cloud Website Hosting
Our IP Blocking tool comes with the ground breaking Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all cloud website hosting accounts. It will enable you to block addresses with only several clicks. No coding skills are required, due to the fact that you'll use an intuitive interface - you simply need to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type in the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You'll be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added within the same section and whitelisting any of them shall take simply a click. If you notice your website is being flooded by numerous IPs, you'll be able to block an entire IP range also. This can be done 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 simply have to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
