Occasionally you may need to block certain third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are plenty of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and traffic. Additionally, there are spammers who leave links to shady sites as comments to site articles. This kind of things can drastically undermine your projects, because no one likes to visit a website with many hundreds of fake comments, plus the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the web server in which your Internet site is hosted, that could result in your site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in such cases is to block the IP addresses which create the fake traffic, in order to be certain that the visits to your Internet site are authentic.
IP Blocking in Hosting
Our Linux hosting packages include an IP blocking tool, so in case you'd like to restrict the access to your sites, you will be able to do this with just a couple of clicks. The tool is provided with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and that's very easy to use. As soon as you log in and check out the IP blocking section, you shall just need to choose a domain or a subdomain hosted within the account and type in the IP address which needs to be blocked. Our system enables you to block whole networks also, so if you enter 123.123.123., for instance, this'll block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your Internet sites. If you would like to whitelist an IP at some point, you'll be able to unblock it with simply a click from the same section.
