In case you notice a considerable increase in the traffic to your Internet site and if after you look at the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from locations all over the world or from other web servers, your Internet site is more than likely being attacked by an automatic bot. Such programs go through random Internet sites trying to log in to their administrator area using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments beneath every article where such an option is available. Regrettably, this is something rather frequent these days, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you'll be able to block them, so the bots will be unable to access your site in any way. Obviously, you are able to block IPs even if you allow only people from certain countries to access your site.

IP Blocking in Website Hosting

Our website hosting include an IP blocking tool, so if you want to restrict the access to your Internet sites, you will be able to do this with simply a few mouse clicks. The tool is part of the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts and which is very easy to use. Once you log in and check out the IP blocking section, you shall just need to select a domain or a subdomain hosted within the account and enter the IP address that needs to be blocked. Our system will allow you to block whole networks too, so if you type in 123.123.123., for example, this'll block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your websites. In case you want to whitelist an IP at some point, you'll be able to unblock it with just a mouse click from the same section.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts include a very simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that will permit you to restrict individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your Internet sites with no more thanseveral mouse clicks and you won't have any issues to achieve that even if that's your first hosting account. When you navigate to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll just need to pick the domain or subdomain in question from a drop-down list, then type the IP address inside a box which you'll see there and you will be good to go. To restrict the access for a whole network, you'll have to leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you enter 123.123. and do not input anything within the third and fourth positions, our hosting server shall deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
