If you notice a big increase in the online traffic to your website and in case after you look at the visitor stats it turns out that it comes from areas all over the world or from other servers, your site is most likely being attacked by an automatic bot. Those programs go through random sites seeking to log in to their admin area using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments underneath any article where this type of an option is provided. Regrettably, that is something rather common in recent times, but if you know the IP addresses through which the attacks come, you'll be able to block them, so the bots will not be able to access your site in any way. Needless to say, you are able to block IPs even if you allow only people from particular countries to access your site.

IP Blocking in Cloud Website Hosting

The tool is provided with the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all accounts and that is quite simple to use. When you log in and navigate to the IP blocking section, you'll just have to choose a domain or a subdomain hosted in the account and enter the IP address that should be blocked. Our system will allow you to block entire networks also, so if you input 123.123.123., for example, this will block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your Internet sites. If you want to whitelist an IP at some point, you'll be able to unblock it with simply a click from the same section.

Once you navigate to the IP blocking section of the CP, you shall find a full list of all the domains and subdomains which you have added inside the Hosted Domains section.
