Once in a while you might need to block particular third parties from accessing your sites. There are a lot of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and produce fake visits and traffic. In addition, there are spammers that leave links to questionable sites as comments to website articles. This sort of things may drastically undermine your projects, as no one likes to visit an Internet site with many hundreds of fake comments, furthermore the increased website traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the server where your Internet site is hosted, which can result in your site not working properly. One of the best solutions in cases like this is to block the IP addresses that create the fake traffic, in order to make sure that the visits to your Internet site are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

If you get a cloud hosting from us, you shall be able to see comprehensive traffic stats for all of your Internet sites and if you notice that many of the visits to each of them aren't legitimate, you can block the IP addresses which have produced the most traffic via our IP Blocking tool. The interface is incredibly simple - select the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down list, then enter the IP address that you would like to block and save the change. All of the addresses that you have blacklisted shall appear in the very same section of the CP, allowing you to always remove any of them and permit it to access your website again. You could block entire IP ranges via the tool as well - 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.
