If you see a considerable increase in the online traffic to your website and in case after you look at the visitor stats it turns out that it comes from locations all over the world or from other servers, your Internet site is more than likely being attacked by an automatic bot. These programs go through random websites trying to log in to their administration area using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments beneath any sort of article where this type of an option is made available. Regrettably, that's something relatively common these days, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you may block them, so the bots will be unable to access your site in any way. Needless to say, you may block IPs even if you allow only people from specific countries to access your Internet site.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

Our Linux cloud hosting provide an IP blocking tool, so if you would like to restrict the access to your sites, you'll be able to do so with just a couple of mouse clicks. The tool is part of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all accounts and that's very easy to use. As soon as you log in and go to the IP blocking section, you will just need to select a domain or a subdomain hosted inside the account and type the IP address that should be blocked. Our system enables you to block entire networks as well, so if you input 123.123.123., for example, this'll block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your Internet sites. In case you would like to whitelist an IP at some point, you may unblock it with just a mouse click from the same section.
