Every now and then you might need to block certain third parties from accessing your websites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and generate fake visits and traffic. There are also spammers that leave links to suspicious Internet sites as comments to website articles. Such things could considerably undermine your hard work, because no one likes to visit a website with tons of fake comments, furthermore the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots can generate high load on the web server in which your site is hosted, that can result in your site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in this case is to block the IPs that generate the fake traffic, so as to make sure that the visits to your website are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts feature a really simple-to-use IP blocking tool, which will enable you to restrict individual IPs or even whole networks from accessing your Internet sites with onlya few clicks and you will not have any issues to accomplish that even if that's your first website hosting account. As soon as you go to the IP Blocking section of the Hepsia Control Panel, you will simply have to select the domain or subdomain in question from a drop-down list, then type the IP address in a box that you will see there and you will be ready. To prohibit the access for a whole network, you need to leave one or more octets blank. For example, if you input 123.123. and don't type in anything within the third and fourth positions, our server shall deny requests from all IP addresses between 123.123.1.1 and 123.123.255.255.
