In case you notice a large increase in the traffic to your Internet site and if after you examine the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from locations across the globe or from other web servers, your Internet site is most likely being attacked by an automatic bot. These programs go through random Internet sites trying to log in to their administration area using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments beneath any sort of article where such an option is provided. Regrettably, that is something quite frequent these days, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you'll be able to block them, so the bots will be unable to access your site in any way. Certainly, you may block IPs even if you allow only people from certain countries to access your site.

IP Blocking in Shared Hosting

If you have a shared hosting account with our company and you wish to block one or a few IP addresses, you may use the IP Blocking tool, which is integrated into our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel. Using a rather simple interface, you can prevent any IP from accessing your content even if you have never had a web hosting account before. All it requires to complete this is to log inside to your CP, to check out the IP Blocking section, to pick a particular domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then to type in the IP address. You will not need to do anything complex if you want to block an entire network - you will just need to omit the last octet, so entering 1.1.1. with a blank space after the last dot will block the entire range from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255. All blocked IPs shall be listed within the same section, so you'll be able to remove any of them from the blacklist with simply a click.
