Occasionally you may need to block particular third parties from accessing your websites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and create fake visits and site traffic. Additionally, there are spammers that leave links to shady sites as comments to blog articles. This sort of things may drastically undermine your projects, as no one likes to visit a website with tons of fake comments, furthermore the increased traffic from both spammers and bots can generate high load on the web server where your Internet site is hosted, that can result in your site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in such a case is to block the IP addresses that produce the fake traffic, as a way to make certain that the visits to your Internet site are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Shared Website Hosting

If you have a shared website hosting account with our company and you would like to block one or a few IP addresses, you could use the IP Blocking tool, which is included in our in-house built Hepsia CP. Through a really simple interface, you'll be able to stop any IP from accessing your content even if you have never had a web hosting account before. All it takes to complete this is to log within to your Control Panel, to go to the IP Blocking section, to select a particular domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to input the IP address. You will not need to do anything complicated if you wish to block a whole network - you'll simply have to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot will block the entire range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs will be listed inside the same exact section, so you'll be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with just a click.
