I already bought 1 year at GoDaddy and I can upgrade to 1024MB for $24 (full year).

Will 1024 MB be enough?

@jonradio thanks for the information.

So the only solution would be to upgrade? Sigh ??

@james Huff thank you for the information. ??

@acstudent Thanks for that recommendation, I configurated CloudFlare and turned on Security Level: I’m under attack.

In my live traffic on Wordfence there are no bots anymore! Very happy with that!

I guess i’ll just leave it on for a few days and then turn it off because visitors usually don’t like to wait 5 seconds for a page to load.

But I really appreciate the help, now I can finally work on my website without continuously being slowed down by stupid bots.

Thanks for the help everyone.

I did the things you recommended but every morning I wake up and still see 700+ bad bot/crawlers in my statistics. It’s horrible. Even got 40 failed login attempts.

Change my login page using latro666’s recommended plugin and xmlrpc.php denying. Hope that works for the login problem.

What I noticed is that almost EVERY bad crawler wants to visit my FORUM that I deleted… Why do they keep doing that?

In the robots.txt file I even set to block ALL crawlers. I won’t be using SEO anyway (only social media traffic). But that doesn’t work either.

Also using the Wordfence plugin I blocked like 20 NETWORKS, with a total of about half a million IP-adresses… Nothing works!!!!!!

Please someone save me from this horrible mess. My website is slow and I’m getting tired of it.

Thanks for all the support guys, I really appreciate it.

Oh and none of the traffic is Human. They are all Crawlers and Google Crawlers.

[ No bumping please. ]

Hey! Really appreciate your help.

I installed WordFence and here is what I think.

I checked the live traffic, and a lot of the traffic is from weird countries (Ukraine, Replublic Of Moldava)

So until yesterday I had this forum installed on a subdomain, and that forum got spammed real hard. So today I deleted the forum (and I wanted to reinstall it later).

However all the traffic is still going towards my forum (even though I deleted the whole forum subdomain – meaning that the bots now visit an empty 404 NOT FOUND page).

How can I stop the traffic?

Hey! Thanks for the fast reply. Yeah I don’t know if that will change the speed of my site, I don’t want to cause more delay by installing more plugins.

I have Google Analytics installed and it only shows like 20 visitors per day.

That is the PayPal merchant fee model in The Netherlands.

I looked it up for the United States and it says:

Online payments & invoicing
2.9% + $0.30
per transaction within the US

Source

Okay, cool! Will try that out tomorrow (it’s midnight here).

Thank you so much for your help so far.

Oh, and another question:
The 3,4% + €0.35 as fee on the purchase, will that be automatically be deducted from what I receive on my PayPal balance?

What do you mean?

I don’t need to have a merchant account to use the simple PayPal transaction, right?

I still don’t understand why I can only pay with a credit card instead of a simple login and paying using the PayPal balance.

Is it really required to open a merchant account? I’d rather not to be honest.

I currently have a verified non-merchant account. Weird right?

Because I read on the internet that you need a merchant account to let customers pay with credit card.

It’s like I live in an opposite world. Haha.
