In case you notice a significant increase in the traffic to your site and in case after you look into the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from countries across the world or from other web servers, your Internet site is most likely being attacked by an automatic bot. Such programs go through random websites attempting to log in to their administration area by using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments underneath any article where this sort of an option is provided. Regrettably, that's something relatively frequent these days, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you can block them, so the bots shall not be able to access your site in any way. Naturally, you are able to block IPs even if you allow only people from specific countries to access your Internet site.

IP Blocking in Cloud Website Hosting

Our IP Blocking tool is included with the revolutionary Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all cloud website hosting accounts. It will enable you to block addresses with simply a few mouse clicks. No coding skills are necessary, because you will use an intuitive interface - you simply need to select a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You'll be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added within the exact same section and whitelisting each of them will take only a mouse click. If you notice that your Internet site is being flooded by different IPs, you shall be able to block an entire IP range also. This could be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you need to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you only have to input 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
