# What should I do if the page “Your IP has been banned” appears?

## Objective

The shared infrastructure where OVHcloud web hosting plans are located has several security systems.\
If your website displays a “Your IP has been banned” page, this means that the IP address from which you are trying to access your website has been temporarily blocked by our security systems.

**Find out how to unblock your IP address if your website displays a “Your IP has been banned” page.**

## Requirements

- An [OVHcloud web hosting plan](https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-gb/web-hosting/)
- The login details to access [your web hosting plan’s FTP storage space](/en/guides/web-cloud/web-hosting/ftp-connection.md)

## Instructions

The “Your IP has been banned” page may appear for a number of reasons (non-exhaustive list):

- A very large number of requests, similar or not, are made in an extremely short time from the same IP address.
- Requests made from the IP address in question are suspicious.

### 1 - Retrieve the information on the page “Your IP has been banned”

First, retrieve the information below that appears on the “Your IP has been banned” page:

- `IP address` (e.g.: 203.0.113.0)
- `Date` (for example: 2025-07-01T16:30:45:150Z)
- `Request ID` (for example: AbCdEf-your-request-ID-GhIjKlM)

### 2 - Contact support

Once this data is collected, create a [support ticket](https://help.ovhcloud.com/csm?id=csm_get_help) from the OVHcloud Help Center, specifying:

- The message found on the page (“Your IP has been banned”).
- The three elements retrieved earlier (`IP address`, `Date` and `Request ID`).
- The URL from which the page is displayed (for example: `https://www.domain.tld/index.php`).
- The Internet browser used.

The support team will get back to you as soon as possible to confirm the origin of this blockage.
