In case you notice a significant increase in the traffic to your website 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 Internet site is probably being attacked by an automatic bot. Those programs go through random Internet sites aiming to log in to their administrator area through a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments beneath every article where this sort of an option is available. Unfortunately, that's something relatively common nowadays, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you'll be able to block them, so the bots won't be able to access your Internet site in any way. Certainly, you'll be able to block IPs even if you allow only people from particular countries to access your website.

IP Blocking in Web Hosting

Our web hosting provide an IP blocking tool, so in case you'd like to restrict the access to your sites, you will be able to do this with simply a few clicks. The tool is part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and which is a breeze to use. Once you log in and visit the IP blocking section, you will just need to select a domain or a subdomain hosted inside the account and enter the IP address that needs to be blocked. Our system will allow you to block entire networks also, so if you type 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. If you would like to whitelist an IP at some point, you could unblock it with just a click from the same section.
