Hi Pete, Your hosting provider should be able to block their IP or domain from connecting to your site. Check your activity logs for the IP that is making the request. If you use cPanel you can use the 'IP Deny Manager' feature. I provide this feature in all of the hosting packages I sell. It will refuse any connection from the designated IP or domain.
