    1. I Logged into cPanel for Hostmonster and I could not find it. In a conversation with hostmonster they said “Mod_security Tool is not available on our cPanel and we do not have access to resolve this from our end, since we are the front line agents.”

      I really don’t know how to resolve it since there is nothing to access. At one time the cPanel had loads of features, but it has been dumbed down to almost nothing.
