In case you notice a considerable increase in the online traffic to your Internet site and in case after you examine the visitor stats it turns out that it comes from places around the world or from other web servers, your website is more than likely being attacked by an automatic bot. These pieces of software go through random websites trying to log in to their administration area by using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments beneath any sort of article where this type of an option is available. The fact is that, that is something quite common lately, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you may block them, so the bots won't be able to access your website in any way. Certainly, you are able to block IPs even if you allow only people from specific countries to access your site.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

Our cloud plans come with an IP blocking tool, so in case you want to limit the access to your websites, you will be able to do this with a couple of mouse clicks. The tool is included with the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and which is a breeze to use. As soon as you log in and visit the IP blocking section, you will just need to select a domain or a subdomain hosted in the account and type the IP address that needs to be blocked. Our system will allow you to block entire networks too, so if you input 123.123.123., for example, this shall block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your Internet sites. In case you wish to whitelist an IP at some point, you'll be able to unblock it with just a mouse click from the same section.
