Occasionally you might need to block certain third parties from accessing your websites. There are plenty of automatic bots which crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and website traffic. There are also spammers who leave links to suspicious Internet sites as comments to blog articles. This sort of things could considerably undermine your hard work, as nobody likes to visit a website with countless fake comments, furthermore the increased traffic from both spammers and bots may create high load on the web server where your website is hosted, which could result in the site not working correctly. One of the best solutions in this case is to block the IPs that generate the fake traffic, in order to make certain that the visits to your Internet site are authentic.

No coding abilities are needed, because you shall use an intuitive interface - you just have to choose a domain or a subdomain from a drop-down menu and input the IP address that you would like to be blocked. You shall be able to see all the IP addresses you have added within the very same section and whitelisting each of them shall take just a click.
