Occasionally you might need to block specific third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are plenty of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and online traffic. There's also spammers that leave links to questionable websites as comments to site articles. This sort of things could significantly undermine your projects, simply because no one likes to visit a site with tons of fake comments, not to mention that the increased traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the server in which your website is hosted, which could result in your site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in cases like this is to block the IP addresses that create the fake traffic, in order to make sure that the visits to your website are real.

IP Blocking in Cloud Web Hosting

If you have a cloud web hosting account with our company and you wish to block one or several IP addresses, you can use the IP Blocking tool, that is incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia CP. By using a very simple interface, you'll be able to prevent any IP from accessing your content even if you have never had a web hosting account before. All it takes to perform that is to log within to your Control Panel, to check out the IP Blocking section, to pick a specific domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to input the IP address. You won't have to do anything complex if you wish to block an entire network - you will just need to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot shall block the entire range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs will be listed within the same section, so you will be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with simply a mouse click.

When you navigate to the IP blocking section of the CP, you shall find a comprehensive list of all the domains and subdomains you have added within the Hosted Domains section. All you have to do to block an IP address is choose the desired domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then type in the IP within the box below. The change will take effect instantly, so you'll not get any traffic from this address in the future. Removing an IP from the blocked list is just as quick.
