IP Blocking in Shared Web Hosting
If you get a Linux shared web hosting from our company, you shall be able to see in depth traffic statistics for all of your sites and if you notice that many of the visits to each of them aren't real, you may block the IP addresses that have generated 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 input the IP address that you'd like to block and save the change. All of the addresses you have blacklisted shall appear inside the same section of the CP, so you're able to always remove any one of them and allow it to access your site again. You'll be able to block whole IP ranges through the tool too - you just have to leave 1 or 2 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.
IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you host your sites within a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you want to block one or several IP addresses at some point, you could leverage the easy-to-use blocking tool, which we've provided with our in-house built Hepsia hosting CP. With just a couple of clicks, you'll be able to block specific IPs or whole ranges, if necessary. All you shall have to do is pick out any one of your domains or subdomains from a drop-down menu, decide if the blocking must be valid for the root folder or for a subfolder which is part of the Internet site, and then type in the IP address that you want to block. For an IP range, you just have to omit the last octet or the last two octets of the address with regards to the size of the network which you want to block. All of the addresses you have restricted will be listed within the exact same section and if you wish to whitelist any one of them, you'll be able to do it with a mouse click anytime.
