Unknown025 Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 I have unsuspended your account, it should start working again shortly. I don't know the reason as to why your account was suspended for high load, so I've escalated your thread so an administrator can provide some insight.

dahuhunter Posted 14 hours ago Author Share Posted 14 hours ago Good morning, According to Google Analytics, I had maximum 21-28 visitors per day, mostly from Switzerland, Russia and Ukraine. I agree that these IP addresses look suspicious. Please explain how I can block them. Is there an option on Heliohost? Thank you.

wolstech Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago The easiest way to block these is to use Deny statements in .htaccess. Also, those 66.249. addresses with 38k and 5k hits is actually Googlebot of all things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahuhunter Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago If these bots are used for Internet references, there may be no need to block them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolstech Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Theres a need to block them if they’re causing too much load. We don’t exempt load caused by bot traffic, so letting them scrape an inefficient site will get you suspended. Get suspended 3 times for load with no indication you’re trying to fix it, and you may get banned. The fix is to stop the scraping or make the site more efficient. For google specifically, you could put a robots.txt that tells it not to index parts or any of your site (with the obvious result that you won’t be found on google). Many other bots don’t honor it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
