In case you notice a considerable increase in the online traffic to your website and in case after you look at the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from places across the world or from other web servers, your Internet site is most likely being attacked by an automatic bot. Such programs go through random sites attempting to log in to their admin area through a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments underneath any sort of article where this type of an option is provided. Unfortunately, that's something rather common lately, but if you know the IP addresses from which the attacks come, you'll be able to block them, so the bots won't be able to access your site in any way. Obviously, you are able to block IPs even if you allow only people from certain countries to access your Internet site.

IP Blocking in Hosting

If you get a hosting from us, you will be able to see in depth traffic statistics for all of your websites and if you notice that a considerable amount of the visits to any of them aren't real, you could block the IP addresses which have produced the most traffic via our IP Blocking tool. The interface is extremely simple - choose 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 of the addresses that you've blacklisted will show up in the same section of the CP, so you're able to always remove any of them and permit it to access your website again. You are able to block entire IP ranges via the tool as well - you just have to leave one or two 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.

All you should do to block an IP address is choose the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down menu and then enter the IP inside the box below. The change shall take effect right away, so you'll not get any traffic from this address in the future. Taking away an IP from the blocked list is just as quick.
