Occasionally you may need to block particular third parties from accessing your websites. There are plenty of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and site traffic. There are spammers who leave links to shady sites as comments to website articles. Such things could considerably undermine your projects, since no one likes to visit an Internet site with countless fake comments, plus the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots may generate high load on the server on which your Internet site is hosted, that could result in your site not working properly. Among the most effective solutions in such a case is to block the IP addresses that generate the fake traffic, as a way to make sure that the visits to your Internet site are authentic.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

If you have a shared hosting account with us and you would like to block one or a few IP addresses, you may use the IP Blocking tool, that is incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. Through a very simple interface, you are able to prevent 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 navigate to the IP Blocking section, to pick a particular domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to type in the IP address. You simply won't have to do anything difficult if you want to block a whole network - you'll just have to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot shall block the full range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed in the same exact section, so you'll be able to remove any one of them from the blacklist with a mouse click.
