If you notice a major increase in the traffic to your website and if after you look at the visitor stats 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 aiming to log in to their administration area by using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments under any sort of article where this sort of an option is provided. Regrettably, that is something rather common these days, but if you know the IP addresses through which the attacks come, you'll be able to block them, so the bots will be unable to access your website in any way. Of course, you'll be able to block IPs even if you allow only people from specific countries to access your Internet site.

IP Blocking in Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting CP, provided with all hosting accounts. It'll allow you to block addresses with simply a few mouse clicks. No coding abilities are needed, since you will use an intuitive interface - you need to simply select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type the IP address you want to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses you have added inside the same section and whitelisting each of them will take simply a click. If you notice that your site is being flooded by numerous IPs, you'll be able to block an entire IP range also. This could be performed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you need to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you just need to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you host your Internet sites in a semi-dedicated server account with us and you wish to block one or numerous IP addresses at some point, you could use the easy-to-use blocking tool, that we have supplied with our in-house built Hepsia hosting CP. With simply several mouse clicks, you will be able to block individual IPs or whole ranges, if necessary. All you will need to do is choose any of your domains or subdomains from a drop-down menu, decide if the blocking should be valid for the root folder or for a subfolder that is part of the website, and then enter the IP address you want to block. For an IP range, you only have to omit the last octet or the last two octets of the address with regards to the size of the network you want to block. All of the addresses which you have restricted will be listed in the exact same section and if you would like to whitelist any one of them, you'll be able to do it with just a mouse click anytime.
