If you see a considerable increase in the online traffic to your site and in case after you examine the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from countries across the world or from other web servers, your website is most likely being attacked by an automatic bot. These programs go through random Internet sites aiming to log in to their admin area by using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments beneath any article where this kind of an option is made available. Regrettably, that's something rather common these days, but if you know the IP addresses through which the attacks come, you may block them, so the bots will be unable to access your Internet site in any way. Certainly, you are able to block IPs even if you allow only people from specific countries to access your Internet site.
IP Blocking in Cloud Web Hosting
Our Linux cloud web hosting services offer an IP blocking tool, so if you'd like to restrict the access to your Internet sites, you'll be able to do this with simply a few mouse clicks. The tool is included with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and that's very easy to use. As soon as you log in and visit the IP blocking section, you shall just have to select a domain or a subdomain hosted in the account and type the IP address which needs to be blocked. Our system enables you to block whole networks also, so if you enter 123.123.123., for instance, this shall block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your sites. In case you want to whitelist an IP at some point, you can unblock it with a mouse click from the same section.
IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You'll be able to block IP addresses effortlessly and stop the undesirable traffic to any website hosted inside a semi-dedicated server account with our company, as we provide a rather easy-to-use tool to do that, which is provided with our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Even if you have not dealt with this kind of matters in the past, you will not have any difficulties, since our tool has a very user-friendly interface. As you navigate to the IP blocking section of the CP, you shall find a complete list of all the domains and subdomains which you have added in the Hosted Domains section. All you need to do to block an IP address is choose the desired domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then type the IP in the box below. The change will 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 easy.
