In case you notice a significant increase in the traffic to your Internet site and in case after you examine the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from places across the globe or from other servers, your site is probably being attacked by an automatic bot. Such pieces of software go through random Internet sites attempting to log in to their admin area by using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments underneath any sort of article where this sort of an option is available. The fact is that, this is something relatively frequent in recent times, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you may block them, so the bots shall not be able to access your site in any way. Obviously, you are able to block IPs even if you allow only people from particular countries to access your website.

IP Blocking in Cloud Web Hosting

Our cloud web hosting feature an IP blocking tool, so if you'd like to limit the access to your websites, you'll be able to do this with several clicks. The tool is part of the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts and which is quite simple to use. As soon as you log in and navigate to the IP blocking section, you'll just have to choose a domain or a subdomain hosted inside the account and input the IP address which needs to be blocked. Our system will permit you to block whole networks as well, so if you type 123.123.123., for example, this will block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your Internet sites. If you want to whitelist an IP at some point, you can unblock it with a click from the same section.
