Once in a while you may have to block certain third parties from accessing your websites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and create fake visits and website traffic. There's also spammers that leave links to shady Internet sites as comments to site articles. This sort of things may drastically undermine your hard work, simply because no one likes to visit a website with hundreds of fake comments, also the increased traffic from both spammers and bots could generate high load on the web server on which your Internet site is hosted, that can result in the site not working properly. One of the best solutions in such a case is to block the IPs which generate the fake traffic, as a way to make certain that the visits to your site are real.

IP Blocking in Hosting

If you order a Linux hosting package from us, you shall be able to see in depth traffic stats for all your Internet sites and if you notice that a lot of the visits to each of them aren't authentic, you'll be able to block the IP addresses that have produced the most traffic using our IP Blocking tool. The interface is very simple - choose the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down list, then type the IP address that you want to block and save the change. All the addresses which you have blacklisted will show up inside the very same section of the CP, so that you can always remove any of them and enable it to access your website again. You are able to block whole IP ranges using the tool also - you simply need to leave one or two 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.
