If you notice a significant increase in the online traffic to your Internet site and if after you look into the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from areas all over the world or from other web servers, your website is probably being attacked by an automatic bot. These pieces of software go through random websites looking to log in to their administrator area by using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments under any article where this kind of an option is made available. The fact is that, that is something rather popular these days, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you'll be able to block them, so the bots will not be able to access your Internet site in any way. Of course, you can block IPs even if you allow only people from particular countries to access your website.
IP Blocking in Shared Web Hosting
Our shared web hosting feature an IP blocking tool, so if you want to limit the access to your sites, it shall be able to do this with several mouse clicks. The tool is part of the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts and which is super easy to use. As soon as you log in and visit the IP blocking section, you will just have to select a domain or a subdomain hosted in the account and enter the IP address which needs to be blocked. Our system will allow you to block whole networks too, so if you type in 123.123.123., for example, this will block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your websites. If you would like to whitelist an IP at some point, you may unblock it with simply a click from the same section.
