Once in a while you may have to block specific third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and online traffic. There are also spammers who leave links to suspicious websites as comments to website articles. This sort of things could drastically undermine your projects, because no one likes to visit a website with many fake comments, not to mention that the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the web server where your website is hosted, that can result in your site not working correctly. Among the most effective solutions in such a case is to block the IP addresses that produce the fake traffic, as a way to be certain that the visits to your website are legitimate.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

No coding abilities are needed, due to the fact that you shall use an intuitive interface - you simply need to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and type in the IP address you want to be blocked. You'll be able to see all the IP addresses which you have added within the exact same section and whitelisting any of them shall take only a click. If you notice that your website is being flooded by numerous IPs, you will be able to block a whole IP range as well. This could be completed by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you wish to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you basically have to type in 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
