Occasionally you may have to block particular third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and create fake visits and traffic. Additionally, there are spammers who leave links to questionable websites as comments to blog articles. This kind of things could drastically undermine your hard work, because no one likes to visit a site with countless fake comments, plus the increased traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the web server where your site is hosted, that can result in the site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IPs that produce the fake traffic, as a way to make certain that the visits to your Internet site are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Shared Web Hosting

If you order a shared web hosting from us, you will be able to see comprehensive traffic statistics for all your websites and if you notice that a large amount of the visits to any of them are not legitimate, you may block the IP addresses that have produced the most traffic by using our IP Blocking tool. The interface is really simple - choose the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down list, then enter the IP address that you'd like to block and save the change. All of the addresses that you have blacklisted will show up inside the same exact section of the CP, so you're able to always remove any one of them and enable it to access your website again. You can block whole IP ranges using the tool too - you simply need to leave 1 or 2 octets from the address blank. As an example, entering 1.2.3. will block all 254 IPs from 1.2.3.1 to 1.2.3.255.
