In case you notice a significant increase in the traffic to your website and in case after you examine the visitor statistics it turns out that it comes from locations across the globe or from other web servers, your website is more than likely being attacked by an automatic bot. These programs go through random Internet sites trying to log in to their administrator area using a brute-force attack or to leave spam comments underneath any article where this sort of an option is offered. Regrettably, that is something relatively popular nowadays, but if you know the IP addresses through which the attacks come, you may block them, so the bots will not be able to access your site in any way. Of course, you are able to block IPs even if you allow only people from certain countries to access your website.

Once you log in and navigate to the IP blocking section, you shall just have to pick a domain or a subdomain hosted inside the account and enter the IP address that needs to be blocked. Our system will enable you to block entire networks too, so if you type in 123.123.123., for example, this will block all IP addresses between 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.255 from accessing your websites.
