Every now and then you may need to block particular third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are plenty of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and generate fake visits and online traffic. There are spammers that leave links to shady sites as comments to blog articles. Such things may significantly undermine your hard work, because no one likes to visit an Internet site with tons of fake comments, furthermore the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the web server in which your Internet site is hosted, which can result in the site not functioning properly. One of the best solutions in such cases is to block the IP addresses that create the fake traffic, so as to make sure that the visits to your site are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Web Hosting

If you buy a Linux web hosting from our company, you will be able to see comprehensive traffic stats for all your Internet sites and if you notice that a large amount of the visits to any of them are not legitimate, you can block the IP addresses that have generated the most traffic via our IP Blocking tool. The interface is incredibly simple - select the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down list, then enter the IP address that you want to block and save the change. All the addresses that you have blacklisted will show up inside the same exact section of the Control Panel, allowing you to always remove any of them and enable it to access your site again. You'll be able to block whole IP ranges through the tool too - you just have to leave one or two octets from the address blank. For example, entering 1.2.3. will block all 254 IPs from 1.2.3.1 to 1.2.3.255.
