IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting
If you buy a Linux cloud hosting package from us, you will be able to see in depth traffic statistics for all your sites and if you notice that a lot of the visits to each of them aren't legitimate, you may block the IP addresses which have generated the most traffic through our IP Blocking tool. The interface is very simple - select 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 the addresses that you've blacklisted will appear in the very same section of the CP, so you can always remove any one of them and enable it to access your website again. You can block whole IP ranges using the tool too - you just have to leave one or two octets from the address blank. As an 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 websites within a semi-dedicated server account with our company and you want to block one or several IP addresses eventually, you may use the easy-to-use blocking tool, that we've supplied with our in-house built Hepsia hosting CP. With simply a few mouse clicks, you'll be able to block specific IPs or whole ranges, if required. All you'll have to do is pick any of your domains or subdomains from a drop-down menu, choose if the blocking should be valid for the root folder or for a subfolder that's part of the Internet site, and then type in the IP address that you want to block. For an IP range, you only have to omit the last octet or the last 2 octets of the address depending on the size of the network you want to block. All the addresses that you've restricted shall be listed in the exact same section and if you would like to whitelist any of them, you will be able to do it with simply a mouse click whenever you want.
