I suppose it's this.

Do you run your own server? I don't think you can use it on a shared account, unless it's already installed on the server. But I don't know much about it.

Hi Pandy, Thanks for your support and you are exact, it is mod security of Apache.

Yes I am using a VPS for about 10 websites, I didn't use shared hosting since 5 years ago.
