From time to time you may have to block particular third parties from accessing your sites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and create fake visits and online traffic. In addition, there are spammers that leave links to suspicious Internet sites as comments to site articles. This type of things may drastically undermine your work, because no one likes to visit an Internet site with hundreds of fake comments, not to mention that the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots can generate high load on the server where your website is hosted, which could result in the site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in cases like this is to block the IP addresses that produce the fake traffic, so as to be sure that the visits to your Internet site are real.

No coding abilities are needed, due to the fact that you shall use an intuitive interface - you just have to pick a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and enter the IP address that you'd like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses that you've added in the exact same section and whitelisting each of them will take simply a mouse click. If you notice your website is being flooded by various IPs, you shall be able to block an entire IP range as well. This could be done by omitting the last number of the address. For instance, if you want to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you just need to enter 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .

IP Blocking in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All domains and subdomains that you have in the account shall be listed in a drop-down menu, so you just need to choose the one you need and then input the IP address which needs to be blocked.

That shall block all 254 addresses, so you'll not need to enter them manually. Considering that all the IPs you add in this section will be listed, you may easily unblock any one of them by clicking the Delete button associated with the particular IP.
