Knowledge base → Password guessing protection for WordPress sites

[Shared hosting]
Date of publication: 19.10.2023

To protect sites on CMS Wordpress, the virtual hosting service includes protection against password guessing. On the Internet, bots every hour access the WordPress administrative address and try to guess passwords using a dictionary of frequently used passwords, which increases the load on the site and the server itself. For security purposes, the web hosting servers run a service that, after several unsuccessful selection attempts, blocks the IP addresses of bots for a certain time. This significantly increases the security of sites made on the popular CMS Wordpress.

If for some reason you accidentally entered the wrong password several times in a short period of time, your IP may be blocked, to do this, simply contact technical support and provide the IP address.

The protection service is configured in such a way as to prevent blocking of real users and rarely works in this case.
