If you see a significant increase in the online traffic to your Internet site and if after you examine the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from countries all over the world or from other web servers, your website is more than likely being attacked by an automatic bot. Such programs go through random sites attempting to log in to their administrator area by using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments beneath any sort of article where such an option is available. The fact is that, that is something relatively common nowadays, but if you know the IP addresses through which the attacks come, you could block them, so the bots will not be able to access your site in any way. Naturally, you'll be able to block IPs even if you allow only people from certain countries to access your Internet site.

IP Blocking in Cloud Web Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool comes with the ground breaking Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all cloud web hosting accounts. It'll enable you to block addresses with simply a couple of clicks. No coding abilities are necessary, as you shall use an intuitive interface - you simply need to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type in the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses you have added inside the exact same section and whitelisting any of them shall take just a mouse click. If you notice that your Internet site is being flooded by numerous IPs, you will be able to block an entire IP range also. This may be performed by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you need to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you only need to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
