If you see a large increase in the traffic to your Internet site and if after you check the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from locations across the globe or from other servers, your site is more than likely being attacked by an automatic bot. Such pieces of software go through random websites attempting to log in to their admin area by using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments underneath any sort of article where this type of an option is offered. The fact is that, that's something rather frequent these days, but if you know the IP addresses through which the attacks come, you can block them, so the bots won't be able to access your site in any way. Needless to say, you can block IPs even if you allow only people from certain countries to access your website.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the ground breaking Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all cloud hosting accounts. It'll enable you to block addresses with only several mouse clicks. No coding skills are necessary, as you shall use an intuitive interface - you simply need to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added in the exact same section and whitelisting any of them will take only a click. If you notice your website is being flooded by numerous IPs, you'll be able to block a whole IP range also. This could be done by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you need to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you just have to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You'll be able to block IP addresses without difficulty and stop the unwanted traffic to any Internet site hosted within a semi-dedicated server account with our company, as we offer a rather easy-to-use tool to do that, that is part of our Hepsia hosting CP. Even if you have not dealt with this kind of issues in the past, you will not have any difficulties, because our tool provides a very user-friendly interface. As soon as you navigate to the IP blocking section of the Control Panel, you'll find a comprehensive list of all the domains and subdomains that you've added in the Hosted Domains section. All you should do to block an IP address is pick the desired domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then enter the IP inside the box below. The change will take effect immediately, so you will not get any traffic from this address in the future. Taking away an IP from the blocked list is just as quick.
