If you see a big increase in the traffic to your site and if after you examine the visitor stats it turns out that it comes from places across the globe or from other servers, your Internet site is probably being attacked by an automatic bot. These pieces of software go through random Internet sites aiming to log in to their administrator area through a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments underneath every article where such an option is offered. Regrettably, this is something relatively frequent 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 Internet site in any way. Obviously, you can block IPs even if you allow only people from particular countries to access your Internet site.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is included with the advanced Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all shared hosting accounts. It'll permit you to block addresses with only several mouse clicks. No coding skills are required, due to the fact that you shall use an intuitive interface - you just have to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You will be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added within the very same section and whitelisting any of them will take just a click. If you notice your site is being flooded by various IPs, you shall be able to block an entire IP range also. This may be performed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you wish 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 .
