Occasionally you might need to block specific third parties from accessing your websites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and generate fake visits and online traffic. There are also spammers who leave links to questionable sites as comments to website articles. This sort of things could significantly undermine your work, since no one likes to visit a website with hundreds of fake comments, furthermore the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the server in which your site is hosted, which could result in your site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in cases like this is to block the IPs which produce the fake traffic, so as to make sure that the visits to your Internet site are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

If you have a shared hosting account with our company and you want to block one or a number of IP addresses, you may use the IP Blocking tool, that is integrated into our in-house built Hepsia CP. By using a very simple interface, you could stop any IP from accessing your content even if you have not had a web hosting account before. All it takes to do that is to log within to your CP, to check out the IP Blocking section, to choose a particular domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to type in the IP address. You simply won't need to do anything difficult if you would like to block an entire network - you will just have to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot will block the whole range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed within the very same section, so you will be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with only a click.
