If you see a large increase in the online traffic to your website and in case after you look at the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from locations around the world or from other servers, your website is more than likely being attacked by an automatic bot. These programs go through random Internet sites seeking to log in to their admin area through a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments beneath any sort of article where this type of an option is available. Regrettably, this is something rather common nowadays, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you can block them, so the bots will not be able to access your site in any way. Of course, you can block IPs even if you allow only people from certain countries to access your website.

IP Blocking in Web Hosting

Our Linux web hosting packages come with an IP blocking tool, so in case you want to restrict the access to your Internet sites, you'll be able to do this with simply a few clicks. The tool is provided with the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts and which is a breeze to use. As you log in and navigate to the IP blocking section, you shall just have to select a domain or a subdomain hosted within the account and type the IP address that should be blocked. Our system allows you to block whole networks also, so if you type 123.123.123., for example, this'll block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your websites. If you want to whitelist an IP at some point, you can unblock it with simply a mouse click from the same section.
