In case you notice a big increase in the traffic to your site and if after you check the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from areas across the world or from other servers, your website is probably being attacked by an automatic bot. Those pieces of software go through random sites looking to log in to their administrator area using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments below every article where this type of an option is made available. Unfortunately, this is something quite frequent these days, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you could block them, so the bots will be unable to access your site in any way. Obviously, you can block IPs even if you allow only people from certain countries to access your site.

IP Blocking in Hosting

Our Linux hosting feature an IP blocking tool, so in case you'd like to restrict the access to your 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. As you log in and visit the IP blocking section, you'll just need to select a domain or a subdomain hosted inside the account and enter the IP address which should be blocked. Our system enables you to block entire networks also, so if you type in 123.123.123., for instance, this shall block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your websites. If 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 Servers

You shall be able to block IP addresses with ease and stop the unwanted traffic to any website hosted in a semi-dedicated server account with our company, as we provide a very easy-to-use tool to do that, that's our Hepsia hosting CP. Even if you have not addressed this type of problems in the past, you shall not have any difficulties, as our tool includes a very user-friendly interface. As soon as you go to the IP blocking section of the CP, you will find a full list of all the domains and subdomains that you've added inside the Hosted Domains section. All you have to do to block an IP address is pick the desired domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP inside the box below. The change shall take effect straightaway, so you will not get any traffic from this address in the future. Removing an IP from the blocked list is equally simple.
