From time to time you may need to block particular third parties from accessing your websites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and website traffic. There's also spammers who leave links to questionable websites as comments to blog articles. This type of things could greatly undermine your hard work, as nobody likes to visit a website with many fake comments, also the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the web server where your site is hosted, that can result in the site not working properly. Among the most effective solutions in cases like this is to block the IPs that produce the fake traffic, in order to be sure that the visits to your website are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Shared Website Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is included with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all shared website hosting accounts. It will enable you to block addresses with just a few mouse clicks. No coding abilities are needed, because you'll use an intuitive interface - you need to simply pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses that you've added inside the very same section and whitelisting each of them will take just a mouse click. If you notice that your site is being flooded by numerous IPs, you will be able to block an entire IP range too. This can be completed 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 .
