My WordPress has been Suspended

    So yesterday I starting building on my website from scratch and after using a plugin that edits the backend of the site visually (I forget the name) it took over my whole page… so I had to start all over again from scratch and as I was activating some plugins WordPress kicked me out and since then I haven’t been able to log back in!

    I received an email saying “host, has been locked out of the WordPress site at http://wanderrealm.com due to too many bad login attempts. The host has been locked out until 2016-03-19 02:26:28 “

    My WP website is https://wanderrealm.com that has been blocked

    So I thought I would be able to log back in today but instead the page says its been suspended.

    I do not believe I breached any of the TOS conditions and I only logged in one time on my website! I had lots of tabs open, but for the life of me I can’t see why I have been banned.

    Is really frustrating :(

    Thanks for any answers in advance.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    wanderrealm.com is hosted by Pulsant (Scotland), not by wordpress.COM
    WHOIS: Click Here
    IP Address: 91.103.217.55
    Name Servers:
    ns1.sv1-dataflame.com
    ns2.sv1-dataflame.com

    That site is not hosted here.

    We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
    (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
    (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.

    You are posting to the wrong support forum.

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    As you are referring to a site that is not hosted here, if you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.
    Resetting your WordPress.ORG password http://codex.wordpress.org/Resetting_Your_Password
    WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

    Ok thank you very much for your quick reply, much appreciated. I had no idea that it was Pulsant, I was was not the original person to set the website up.

    I have contacted Pulsant now, so hopefully they can tell me more about why it was suspended. I’m very new to making websites on WordPress so I don’t know. Hopefully the Pulsant host you mention my site is with is this one http://www.pulsant.com/ as I wasn’t too sure.

    Thank you !
