Once in a while you may have to block specific third parties from accessing your sites. There are plenty of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for example, and create fake visits and site traffic. There are also spammers who leave links to suspicious Internet sites as comments to site articles. Such things can greatly undermine your hard work, since nobody likes to visit a site with many hundreds of fake comments, also the increased traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the server on which your site is hosted, that can result in the site not functioning properly. One of the best solutions in such a case is to block the IPs that create the fake traffic, so as to ensure that the visits to your Internet site are authentic.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

If you get a cloud hosting plan from our company, you'll be able to see in depth traffic stats for all your Internet sites and if you notice that a large amount of the visits to each of them are not authentic, you are able to block the IP addresses which have produced the most traffic via our IP Blocking tool. The interface is really simple - pick the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down list, then type the IP address that you'd like to block and save the change. All of the addresses which you have blacklisted shall appear in the very same section of the Control Panel, so you're able to always remove any one of them and enable it to access your Internet site again. You'll be able to block whole IP ranges through the tool also - you simply need to leave 1 or 2 octets from the address blank. For instance, entering 1.2.3. will block all 254 IPs from 1.2.3.1 to 1.2.3.255.
