In case you notice a significant increase in the traffic to your site and if after you look into the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from countries around the world or from other servers, your website is probably being attacked by an automatic bot. Those programs go through random Internet sites trying to log in to their administration area through a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments below any article where this type of an option is available. Regrettably, that is something quite common nowadays, but if you know the IP addresses through which the attacks come, you may block them, so the bots will be unable to access your website in any way. Certainly, you can block IPs even if you allow only people from particular countries to access your site.
IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud hosting feature an IP blocking tool, so in case you want to restrict the access to your sites, you'll be able to do this with simply a couple of mouse clicks. The tool is included with the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts and which is super easy to use. As you log in and navigate to the IP blocking section, you will just have to select a domain or a subdomain hosted in the account and enter the IP address which needs to be blocked. Our system allows you to block entire networks as well, so if you input 123.123.123., for instance, this'll block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your Internet sites. In case you wish to whitelist an IP at some point, you can unblock it with simply a mouse click from the same section.
