If you notice a major increase in the traffic to your Internet site and in case after you examine the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from areas around the world or from other web servers, your site is most likely being attacked by an automatic bot. Such pieces of software go through random Internet sites trying to log in to their admin area using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments under any sort of article where such an option is provided. Regrettably, that's something relatively frequent these days, but if you know the IP addresses through which the attacks come, you can block them, so the bots won't be able to access your website in any way. Naturally, you'll be able to block IPs even if you allow only people from certain countries to access your site.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the ground breaking Hepsia hosting CP, provided with all shared hosting accounts. It will enable you to block addresses with a few clicks. No coding skills are needed, since you'll use an intuitive interface - you simply need to select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added inside the same section and whitelisting each of them will take just a mouse click. If you notice that your Internet site is being flooded by various 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 simply need to input 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

As you navigate to the IP blocking section of the Control Panel, you shall find a comprehensive list of all the domains and subdomains you have added within the Hosted Domains section. What you need to do to block an IP address is select the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then enter the IP in the box below. The change will take effect at once, so you'll not get any traffic from this address in the future. Removing an IP from the blocked list is equally simple.
