Hello experts.

Would like to get some opinions.

I currently host some of domains with hostgator (shared hosting) and recently got warning from hostgator:



When I check the stats, some of my sites have huge bandwidth in:
- Authenticated Users section
85 MB bandwidth

- Robots/Spiders visitors section
Unknown robot (identified by 'bot' followed by a space or one of the following characters _+:,.;/\-) : 254MB bandwidth
Unknown robot (identified by 'spider'): 48MB bandwidth
Unknow robot (identified by 'crawl'): 47MB bandwidth

The problem is, the IP is known, therefore I can't block them.

How do we solve this unwanted bandwidth and unknown IP and address ?

Hope to get some views and recommendations.

Thanks.
Arie

  • Use CloudFlare so at least you can offload some content and save bandwidth
  • You should code properly or use manage codes to make use of proper bandwidth. Always use licence softwares or scripts to avoid unnecessary use of bandwidth
