Servers are often configured to block connections from IPs that display unusual traffic patterns (e.g., too many failed login attempts or a large number of simultaneous connections). The idea is to mitigate the risk of brute force and DDoS attacks. However, blacklisting can also occur because of software applications or a large number of devices using the same IP. If you think that your IP may have been blocked by your ScalaHosting server, get in touch with our technical support specialists, who will assist you further.
