IP Blocking
Find out more about IP blocking, exactly what it indicates and just how and when it’s best to use it.
Occasionally you may need to block specific third parties from accessing your Internet sites. There are a number of automatic bots that crawl the Internet, for instance, and produce fake visits and traffic. There are also spammers that leave links to questionable sites as comments to website articles. This type of things may considerably undermine your projects, simply because no one likes to visit an Internet site with many fake comments, plus the increased site traffic from both spammers and bots can create high load on the server on 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 IP addresses which create the fake traffic, as a way to make sure that the visits to your website are authentic.
