Once in a while you may need to block specific third parties from accessing your sites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and site traffic. In addition, there are spammers that leave links to shady Internet sites as comments to blog articles. This sort of things could considerably undermine your hard work, simply because no one likes to visit a website with countless fake comments, plus the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots may generate high load on the server on which your Internet site is hosted, which may result in the site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in such cases is to block the IP addresses that produce the fake traffic, as a way to be sure that the visits to your Internet site are real.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting feature an IP blocking tool, so in case you'd like to limit the access to your sites, you will be able to do this with simply a couple of clicks. The tool is included with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and which is very simple to use. As you log in and visit the IP blocking section, you'll just have to select a domain or a subdomain hosted inside the account and type the IP address that needs to be blocked. Our system allows you to block whole networks as well, so if you type in 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 would like to whitelist an IP at some point, you can unblock it with a mouse click from the same section.
