From time to time you might need to block certain third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and create fake visits and site traffic. Additionally, there are spammers that leave links to suspicious sites as comments to website articles. This kind of things can considerably undermine your work, because nobody likes to visit a website with many hundreds of fake comments, also the increased traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the server on which your Internet site is hosted, that could result in the site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in such a case is to block the IPs which generate the fake traffic, so as to make sure that the visits to your Internet site are legitimate.
IP Blocking in Shared Hosting
Our IP Blocking tool is part of the revolutionary Hepsia hosting Control Panel, offered with all shared hosting accounts. It shall allow you to block addresses with just a few mouse clicks. No coding abilities are required, since you will use an intuitive interface - you just have to select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you want to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added within the exact same section and whitelisting each of them shall take only a click. If you notice your website is being flooded by various 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 example, if you wish 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 .
