Every now and then you may have to block particular third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a lot 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 websites as comments to website articles. This kind of things could considerably undermine your work, simply because no one likes to visit a site with many fake comments, not to mention that the increased traffic from both spammers and bots may create high load on the web server where your website is hosted, that could result in the site not functioning properly. Among the most effective solutions in such a case is to block the IPs which create the fake traffic, so as to ensure that the visits to your website are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Shared Website Hosting

If you have a shared website hosting account with us and you want to block one or several IP addresses, you can use the IP Blocking tool, which is integrated into our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. Using a very simple interface, you could stop any IP from accessing your content even if you have never had a web hosting account before. All it requires to complete that is to log within to your CP, to go to the IP Blocking section, to choose a specific domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to input the IP address. You shall not have to do anything challenging if you want to block a whole network - you will simply have to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot will block the full range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed in the very same section, so you'll be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with only a click.
