Occasionally you might need to block specific third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are plenty of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and website traffic. Additionally, there are spammers that leave links to questionable websites as comments to blog articles. This kind of things may significantly undermine your work, as no one likes to visit an Internet site with many hundreds of fake comments, not to mention that the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the server where your Internet site is hosted, that could result in the site not working properly. Among the most effective solutions in such cases is to block the IPs that create the fake traffic, in order to ensure that the visits to your Internet site are authentic.

IP Blocking in Shared Website Hosting

If you have a shared website hosting account with us and you would like to block one or a number of IP addresses, you may use the IP Blocking tool, which is integrated into our in-house built Hepsia CP. By using a pretty simple interface, you can stop any IP from accessing your content even if you have not had a web hosting account before. All it takes to perform this is to log in to your CP, to visit the IP Blocking section, to select a certain domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to input the IP address. You'll not need to do anything complex if you would like to block an entire network - you will simply have to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot shall block the whole range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs will be listed in the very same section, so you'll be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with simply a click.
