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.

Thank you. Please keep me informed if there is any issue.

Are you visiting your own site 38k times per day, or do you think that some of these IP addresses might be bots? You might want to block some of these IPs if you want to reduce the load your website causes.

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.

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...
