From time to time you may have to block particular third parties from accessing your websites. There are a lot of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and website traffic. There are also spammers that leave links to questionable websites as comments to site articles. This kind of things may drastically undermine your work, since nobody likes to visit a site with many hundreds of fake comments, plus the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots may generate high load on the server in which your Internet site is hosted, that could result in your 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 make certain that the visits to your site are authentic.
IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting
If you get a Linux cloud hosting from our company, you'll be able to see comprehensive traffic statistics for all your sites and if you notice that a lot of the visits to any of them aren't legitimate, you'll be able to block the IP addresses that have created the most traffic by using our IP Blocking tool. The interface is extremely simple - pick the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down list, then type in the IP address that you would like to block and save the change. All the addresses that you have blacklisted will show up inside the very same section of the Control Panel, allowing you to always remove any of them and permit it to access your site again. You could block whole IP ranges via the tool as well - 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.
