Once in a while you may have to block specific third parties from accessing your websites. There are a lot of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and online traffic. There are also spammers that leave links to shady websites as comments to site articles. Such things could considerably undermine your work, simply because no one likes to visit a website with many hundreds of fake comments, not to mention that the increased traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the web server in which your website is hosted, that can result in the site not working properly. One of the best solutions in such cases is to block the IP addresses which create the fake traffic, so as to be sure that the visits to your Internet site are legitimate.
IP Blocking in Shared Website Hosting
Our IP Blocking tool is part of the innovative Hepsia hosting Control Panel, offered with all shared website hosting accounts. It'll enable you to block addresses with only a few clicks. No coding skills are needed, because you shall use an intuitive interface - you simply need to select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses that you've added within the same section and whitelisting each of them will take simply a mouse click. If you notice your Internet site is being flooded by numerous IPs, you'll be able to block an entire IP range as well. This could 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 just have to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
