Once in a while you might need to block specific 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 online traffic. There are spammers who leave links to shady sites as comments to site articles. This sort of things can drastically undermine your work, as no one likes to visit a website with hundreds of fake comments, plus the increased traffic from both spammers and bots may generate high load on the server where your site is hosted, that can result in the site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in such cases is to block the IPs which generate the fake traffic, as a way to ensure that the visits to your Internet site are legitimate.
IP Blocking in Cloud Website Hosting
Our cloud website hosting plans include an IP blocking tool, so in case you would like to limit the access to your websites, you'll be able to do so with only a few clicks. The tool is part of the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts and that is super easy to use. When you log in and check out the IP blocking section, you'll just have to pick a domain or a subdomain hosted in the account and input the IP address that should be blocked. Our system allows you to block entire networks also, so if you type 123.123.123., for example, this will block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your sites. If you wish to whitelist an IP at some point, you can unblock it with simply a click from the same section.
