Guessing a password doesn't work here

Bots keep trying passwords on cPanel, webmail, email, FTP and SSH. After a few failed tries, the address is blocked for an hour. And if it was a client who made a mistake, they understand right away and can unblock themselves.

What a client sees after a mistake

1
A warning on the cPanel login pageAfter a few tries, a message warns that the address is about to be blocked.
2
A clear page instead of an errorIf the address is blocked, the client lands on a page that explains why, instead of a page that won't load.
3
A button to unblockA quick check (no picture puzzle) and the address is released.

Most of the time, a blocked client simply has an old password saved in their phone or email app. The unblock page tells them so.
