If you notice a significant increase in the traffic to your website and if after you check the visitor stats it turns out that it comes from countries across the globe or from other web servers, your Internet site is most likely being attacked by an automatic bot. Such programs go through random Internet sites attempting to log in to their admin area using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments under every article where this kind of an option is provided. Unfortunately, that is something relatively popular lately, but if you know the IP addresses through which the attacks come, you may block them, so the bots won't be able to access your site in any way. Certainly, you can block IPs even if you allow only people from certain countries to access your site.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is part of the advanced Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared hosting accounts. It'll permit you to block addresses with just several mouse clicks. No coding abilities are needed, due to the fact that you'll use an intuitive interface - you just have to select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type in the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You'll be able to see all the IP addresses that you have added inside the same section and whitelisting any of them will take simply a click. If you notice that your website is being flooded by different IPs, you shall be able to block an entire IP range as well. This may be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you would like to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you just have to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts include a very simple-to-use IP blocking tool, that will allow you to restrict individual IPs or even entire networks from accessing your Internet sites with justa couple of clicks and you won't have any troubles to achieve that even if this is your first hosting account. Once you go to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll just need to pick the domain or subdomain you need from a drop-down list, then enter the IP address in a box that you'll 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 example, if you input 123.123. and do not enter anything within the third and fourth positions, our hosting server shall deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
