Why can your IP address be blacklisted by Wordpress?

When Wordpress is automatically installed on your web hosting, the iTheme Security extension is installed on Wordpress as a security measure. This security plugin has the following functions:

• Ban an IP address: You can ban a specific IP address at any time.
• Database backup: You can set up a cron job to perform a backup of your database at regular intervals.
• Limit connections: Define the number of connection attempts before being banned
• SSL: You can force the SSL protocol to be used for user connections
• Connection log: You can access connection logs to check connection attempts and errors encountered.

iTheme Security is available under a free licence. You can upgrade to a paid licence at any time to take advantage of more features.
