Once in a while you may need to block particular third parties from accessing your websites. There are plenty of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and site traffic. In addition, there are spammers that leave links to questionable websites as comments to site articles. This sort of things may greatly undermine your projects, simply because no one likes to visit a site with many hundreds of fake comments, also the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the web server where your website is hosted, which may result in the site not working properly. One of the best solutions in such cases is to block the IPs that produce the fake traffic, so as to ensure that the visits to your 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 number of IP addresses, you could use the IP Blocking tool, that's incorporated into our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. Using a really simple interface, you can restrict any IP from accessing your content even if you have not had a web hosting account before. All it requires to complete this is to log within to your Control Panel, to go to the IP Blocking section, to select a certain domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to enter the IP address. You simply won't have to do anything challenging if you would like to block an entire network - you will just need to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot will block the full range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs will be listed within the same exact section, so you shall be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with just a mouse click.
