From time to time you might need to block particular third parties from accessing your websites. There are a lot of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and create fake visits and online traffic. In addition, there are spammers that leave links to questionable Internet sites as comments to site articles. This kind of things could drastically undermine your hard work, because nobody likes to visit a site with hundreds of fake comments, furthermore the increased traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the web server in which your site is hosted, which can result in your site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in this case is to block the IPs that create the fake traffic, so as to ensure that the visits to your Internet site are legitimate.

Our IP Blocking tool is included with the advanced Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all shared hosting accounts. It will enable you to block addresses with a couple of mouse clicks. No coding abilities are needed, since 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 would like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses you have added inside the same section and whitelisting any of them shall take only a mouse click. If you notice your Internet site is being flooded by numerous IPs, you will be able to block a whole IP range as well. This may be performed by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you need to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you basically have to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
