If you notice a significant increase in the online traffic to your site and in case after you look into the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from countries across the world or from other servers, your Internet site is more than likely being attacked by an automatic bot. Such programs go through random Internet sites attempting to log in to their administration area using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments beneath any sort of article where this kind of an option is offered. The fact is that, that is something quite common lately, but if you know the IP addresses through which the attacks come, you can block them, so the bots will be unable to access your site in any way. Obviously, you can block IPs even if you allow only people from particular countries to access your site.

IP Blocking in Cloud Hosting

No coding abilities are needed, due to the fact that you will use an intuitive interface - you simply need 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 will be able to see all the IP addresses you have added within the same section and whitelisting any of them will take simply a mouse click. If you notice your website is being flooded by different IPs, you'll be able to block an entire IP range as well. This can be done by omitting the last number of the address. For example, if you would like to block all 254 addresses from 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.255, you just have to input 1.1.1. and leave the last spot blank .
