Once in a while you may have to block certain third parties from accessing your sites. There are plenty of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and generate fake visits and online traffic. In addition, there are spammers that leave links to questionable Internet sites as comments to blog articles. This sort of things could greatly undermine your work, as nobody likes to visit an Internet site with many fake comments, not to mention that the increased traffic from both spammers and bots may generate high load on the server in which your site is hosted, that can result in your site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in cases like this is to block the IPs that produce the fake traffic, as a way to make certain that the visits to your Internet site are real.

IP Blocking in Shared Web Hosting

If you have a shared 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 really simple interface, you can stop any IP from accessing your content even if you have not had a web hosting account before. All it requires to perform this is to log in to your Control Panel, to check out the IP Blocking section, to choose a specific domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to enter the IP address. You will not have to do anything complicated if you'd like to block an entire 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 full range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed within the exact same section, so you shall be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with just a click.
