What should I do if my IP is blocked by cPanel?

By Gbz • October 30, 2023

If your IP is blocked by cPanel, it typically means several unsuccessful login attempts were detected, and the server’s automatic security protocols temporarily banned the IP to prevent potential threats. To resolve this, you can:

  • Wait for the block to expire, typically after a specific duration.
  • Use a VPN or another network to change your IP address.
  • Contact support, providing them with your IP address, for unblocking.

Good to Know: To avoid unintentional lockouts, it’s a good idea to store your updated, strong, and unique passwords in a secure password manager.
