If you notice a large increase in the online traffic to your Internet site and in case after you look into the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from locations around the world or from other servers, your Internet site is probably being attacked by an automatic bot. These programs go through random sites seeking to log in to their administrator area through a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments under every article where such an option is made available. However, that is something quite common nowadays, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you can block them, so the bots will not be able to access your website in any way. Of course, you'll be able to block IPs even if you allow only people from particular countries to access your site.

IP Blocking in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting plans include an IP blocking tool, so if you'd like to limit the access to your websites, you will be able to do this with only several mouse clicks. The tool is included with the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts and that is very easy to use. As you log in and go to the IP blocking section, you'll just have to choose a domain or a subdomain hosted in the account and type the IP address which needs to be blocked. Our system allows you to block entire networks also, so if you enter 123.123.123., for instance, this'll block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your sites. In case you want to whitelist an IP at some point, you can unblock it with a mouse click from the same section.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

You'll be able to block IP addresses effortlessly and stop the unwelcome traffic to any website hosted in a semi-dedicated server account with our company, because we offer a rather easy-to-use tool to do that, which is provided with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you haven't dealt with this kind of problems in the past, you won't have any difficulties, as our tool provides a very user-friendly interface. As you check out the IP blocking section of the Control Panel, you'll find a complete list of all the domains and subdomains which you have added inside the Hosted Domains section. What you need to do to block an IP address is pick the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP inside the box below. The change shall take effect straightaway, so you'll not get any traffic from this address in the future. Taking away an IP from the blocked list is equally easy.
