From time to time you may need to block particular third parties from accessing your sites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and site traffic. Additionally, there are spammers that leave links to questionable sites as comments to site articles. This sort of things may significantly undermine your work, since no one likes to visit a website with many hundreds of fake comments, furthermore the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the web server in which your site is hosted, which could result in the site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in cases like this is to block the IP addresses that generate the fake traffic, so as to make sure that the visits to your Internet site are legitimate.
IP Blocking in Cloud Web Hosting
Our Linux cloud web hosting packages provide an IP blocking tool, so if you want to restrict the access to your sites, you'll be able to do so with only several clicks. The tool is part of the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts and which is very simple to use. When you log in and visit the IP blocking section, you shall just have to pick a domain or a subdomain hosted within the account and type in the IP address that needs to be blocked. Our system will permit you to block entire networks as well, so if you type 123.123.123., for instance, this will block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your Internet sites. In case you wish to whitelist an IP at some point, you'll be able to unblock it with a click from the same section.
