Stop Bad Bots Before They Reach Your Website
Every hosting plan blocks bots that identify themselves. Bot Protection blocks the ones that don't - using fingerprinting, behavioural scoring and custom rules, before traffic reaches your server.
What's already included with your hosting
Every hosting plan blocks bots that identify themselves. Bot Protection blocks the ones that don't.
Basic bot blocking
Handled at the server, at no extra cost. It clears out the obvious, noisy automated traffic.
- Known bad bots and abusive crawlers blocked by user agent
- Known-bad IP reputation filtering
- Rate limiting on abusive request patterns
- Always-on DDoS protection at the network edge
Fingerprint & behaviour detection
For the bots that send a perfectly normal user agent and look just like a real browser.
- Device fingerprinting and behavioural scoring
- Blocks bots posing as real browsers - scrapers, credential stuffers, checkout and inventory bots
- Custom rules tuned to your site
- Verified good bots allow-listed by default
- Traffic and threat reporting you can actually see
- Blocked at the DNS layer, before it reaches your server
Your hosting handles the obvious bots. Bot Protection handles the ones designed to look human.

Real customers in, bad bots out
Smart detection that recognises paying visitors and helpful crawlers - and quietly shuts the door on the rest.
Real-time bot detection
Every request is scored the moment it arrives. Real customers and helpful crawlers pass straight through, while abusive automation is stopped before it touches your site.
Device & behaviour analysis
We pick up on the small giveaways automated traffic leaves behind - device signals, request patterns and behaviour - to catch bots that try to look human.
Good bots allow-listed
Googlebot, Bingbot, uptime monitors and other verified good bots are recognised by default, so your SEO and integrations keep working.
Cut out abuse traffic
Block or challenge requests from regions and networks that send pure abuse traffic, so your server only does work for real prospects.
Stop paying to serve traffic that never buys
Roughly four in ten visits aren't human. Filtering the junk frees up bandwidth, reduces server load and keeps your website quick for the people who matter.
Lower hosting costs
Bad bots burn CPU, memory and bandwidth on every request. Block them and your server uses fewer resources and less bandwidth, which means lower hosting costs.
Faster site for real visitors
With junk traffic filtered at the edge, your servers spend their time serving real customers - so pages load faster when it matters.
DNS-layer protection
Bot Protection sits in front of your site at the DNS layer, so unwanted traffic is stopped before it ever reaches your origin server.
Visibility into your traffic
See how much of your traffic is automated, what's being blocked and where it's coming from - so you can make decisions on evidence, not guesswork.
Protection against every kind of automated abuse
One service, multiple layers. We handle the noisy long-tail of bot attacks so you don't have to think about them.
Account takeover defence
Throttle brute-force logins and credential stuffing before attackers compromise customer accounts.
Content scraping protection
Stop competitors and AI scrapers from lifting your product data, pricing and original content.
Form & API abuse blocking
Block form spam, fake signups and abusive API calls that bury your team in junk submissions.
