In case you notice a big increase in the traffic to your Internet site and in case after you examine the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from areas all over the world or from other web servers, your site is more than likely being attacked by an automatic bot. Those programs go through random sites attempting to log in to their admin area using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments under any article where this kind of an option is available. The fact is that, that's something rather popular in recent times, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you could block them, so the bots won't be able to access your Internet site in any way. Naturally, you may block IPs even if you allow only people from specific countries to access your website.

IP Blocking in Hosting

Our Linux hosting provide an IP blocking tool, so in case you want to limit the access to your websites, you'll be able to do this with just a few clicks. The tool is provided with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and that is very easy to use. Once you log in and visit the IP blocking section, you'll just have to choose a domain or a subdomain hosted in the account and type in the IP address which should be blocked. Our system enables you to block entire networks too, so if you type 123.123.123., for instance, 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 can unblock it with just a mouse click from the same section.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts include a very simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that'll allow you to restrict individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your sites with justseveral mouse clicks and you shall not have any difficulties to accomplish that even if that's your first web hosting account. When you navigate to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia CP, you will just have to pick the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then enter the IP address inside a box that you will see there and you will be all set. To limit the access for an entire network, you have to leave one or more octets blank. For instance, if you input 123.123. and don't enter anything in the third and fourth positions, our hosting server will deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
