Once in a while you might need to block particular third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a number of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for example, and create fake visits and website traffic. There are spammers who leave links to questionable Internet sites as comments to site articles. Such things could considerably undermine your hard work, because no one likes to visit a site with tons of fake comments, furthermore the increased traffic from both spammers and bots could create high load on the server in which your site is hosted, that can result in your site not working properly. Among the most effective solutions in such cases is to block the IPs which generate the fake traffic, in order to make sure that the visits to your site are real.

The interface is incredibly simple - select the needed domain or subdomain from a drop-down list, then type in the IP address that you would like to block and save the change. All of the addresses that you've blacklisted will show up inside the same section of the Control Panel, so you're able to always remove any of them and allow it to access your site again. You'll be able to block entire IP ranges using the tool also - you just have to leave one or two octets from the address blank.
