In case you notice a considerable increase in the traffic to your Internet site and if after you look into the visitor stats it turns out that it comes from places across the globe or from other servers, your Internet site is probably being attacked by an automatic bot. Such pieces of software go through random websites seeking to log in to their administration area through a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments beneath every article where this sort of an option is provided. The fact is that, this is something relatively frequent in recent times, but if you know the IP addresses through which the attacks come, you could block them, so the bots shall not be able to access your website in any way. Certainly, you'll be able to block IPs even if you allow only people from specific countries to access your site.

IP Blocking in Hosting

If you buy a hosting from us, you'll be able to see comprehensive traffic stats for all of your Internet sites and if you notice that many of the visits to any of them aren't legit, you'll be able to block the IP addresses that have generated the most traffic using our IP Blocking tool. The interface is incredibly simple - choose the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down list, then type the IP address that you want to block and save the change. All of the addresses which you have blacklisted will appear in the very same section of the Control Panel, allowing you to always remove any of them and permit it to access your website again. You can block entire IP ranges via the tool too - you just need to leave 1 or 2 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.
