IP Blocking
Find out more about IP blocking, why it can be so helpful and when to use it.
From time to time you may have to block specific third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are plenty of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and create fake visits and site traffic. There are also spammers that leave links to questionable websites as comments to website articles. This kind of things could significantly undermine your projects, because nobody likes to visit a website with many hundreds of fake comments, plus the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots can generate high load on the web server in which your Internet site is hosted, that can result in the site not working properly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IPs which generate the fake traffic, so as to ensure that the visits to your website are real.

IP Blocking in Website Hosting
Our IP Blocking tool comes with the innovative Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all
website hosting accounts. It shall allow you to block addresses with only a couple of mouse clicks. No coding skills are needed, since you'll use an intuitive interface - you just have to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP address you want to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added within the very same section and whitelisting any of them will take just a mouse click. If you notice that your site is being flooded by different IPs, you shall be able to block an entire IP range as well. This may be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you wish to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you simply have to input 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
