Every now and then you may need to block certain third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and create fake visits and online traffic. There are spammers who leave links to suspicious sites as comments to site articles. This type of things can drastically undermine your work, since nobody likes to visit a website with many fake comments, also the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots may generate high load on the server where your website is hosted, that can result in the site not working properly. One of the best solutions in such a case is to block the IP addresses that produce the fake traffic, in order to make sure that the visits to your Internet site are legitimate.

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the innovative Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all cloud hosting accounts. It shall permit you to block addresses with simply several clicks. No coding abilities are required, since you'll use an intuitive interface - you simply need to select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You'll be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added in the same section and whitelisting any of them will take simply a click. If you notice that your site is being flooded by numerous IPs, you shall be able to block an entire IP range also. This could be performed 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 basically need to input 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
