Occasionally you may need to block particular third parties from accessing your sites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and site traffic. There's also spammers that leave links to suspicious sites as comments to website articles. Such things may greatly undermine your projects, as no one likes to visit an Internet site with many fake comments, also the increased traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the web server where your website is hosted, which may result in the site not working properly. Among the most effective solutions in such cases is to block the IPs which generate the fake traffic, as a way to ensure that the visits to your website are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

If you have a shared hosting account with us and you want to block one or several IP addresses, you may use the IP Blocking tool, which is integrated into our in-house built Hepsia CP. Using a pretty simple interface, you are able to prevent 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 in to your CP, to check out the IP Blocking section, to choose a specific domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to input the IP address. You won't have to do anything challenging if you wish to block a whole network - you will just 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 within the same exact section, so you'll be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with simply a mouse click.
