In case you notice a considerable increase in the online traffic to your Internet site and if after you examine the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from areas across the world or from other web servers, your Internet site is probably being attacked by an automatic bot. These pieces of software go through random sites trying to log in to their administration area by using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments underneath any article where such an option is made available. 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 will be unable to access your website in any way. Obviously, you'll be able to block IPs even if you allow only people from particular countries to access your website.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud hosting packages offer an IP blocking tool, so in case you would like to limit the access to your websites, it shall be able to do so with a couple of mouse clicks. The tool is included with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and which is very easy to use. Once you log in and visit the IP blocking section, you'll just need to pick a domain or a subdomain hosted within the account and input the IP address that needs to be blocked. Our system allows you to block whole networks too, so if you input 123.123.123., for instance, this'll block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your Internet sites. If you wish to whitelist an IP at some point, you may unblock it with simply a click from the same section.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts include a quite simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll permit you to prohibit individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your sites with onlya couple of clicks and you won't have any issues to accomplish that even if this is your first hosting account. Once you go to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you'll only have to select the domain or subdomain you want from a drop-down list, then enter the IP address in a box that you'll see there and you will be all set. To limit the access for a whole network, you need to leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you type in 123.123. and do not input anything in the third and fourth positions, our web server will deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
