From time to time you may need to block specific third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are plenty of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and create fake visits and site traffic. There are also spammers who leave links to questionable sites as comments to blog articles. This kind of things could considerably undermine your projects, simply because no one likes to visit an Internet site with hundreds of fake comments, also the increased traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the web server where your website is hosted, which may result in the site not functioning properly. Among the most effective solutions in cases like this is to block the IPs that generate the fake traffic, in order to be certain that the visits to your website are authentic.
IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting
Our IP Blocking tool is included with the innovative Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all cloud hosting accounts. It will enable you to block addresses with just a couple of clicks. No coding abilities are needed, since you will use an intuitive interface - you need to simply pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP address you want to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses that you've added within the exact same section and whitelisting each of them shall take just a click. If you notice your site is being flooded by different IPs, you will be able to block a whole IP range also. This may be done by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you need to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you only have to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
