If you notice a considerable increase in the traffic to your Internet site and in case after you examine the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from places around the world or from other web servers, your site is probably being attacked by an automatic bot. Those programs go through random Internet sites aiming to log in to their administrator area using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments underneath any article where this kind of an option is offered. Regrettably, this is something relatively popular in recent times, but if you know the IP addresses through which the attacks come, you could block them, so the bots shall not be able to access your site in any way. Of course, you are able to block IPs even if you allow only people from certain countries to access your site.

IP Blocking in Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is included with the ground breaking Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all hosting accounts. It will permit you to block addresses with simply several mouse clicks. No coding skills are required, since you'll use an intuitive interface - you just need to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type in the IP address that you want to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added in the exact same section and whitelisting each of them shall take only a click. If you notice that your site is being flooded by different IPs, you'll be able to block an entire IP range also. This could be performed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you wish to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you just need to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
