    Hello, Im hosted at Awardspace and they said that they only allow Jetpack IP’s to pass through XMLRPC.PHP, but trying to opening xmlrpc.php file it returns a blank page….

    They can access across their servers and it shows the correct string ( XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.).

    If they are whitelisting Jetpack IP’s it should return XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only. right???

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Only if Jetpack accesses the file, yes. In this case, it would be normal for you or I to see a blank page there instead.

    With that said, we are still being blocked from xmlrpc.php, so maybe their whitelist isn’t up to date.

    They will need to whitelist these IP addresses:

    122.248.245.244
    54.217.201.243
    54.232.116.4

    and this range: 192.0.64.0/18

    Blocking XML-RPC is not a great solution for fighting security risks. It’s akin to selling your car because you don’t want it to be stolen.

    Your site’s XML-RPC file is kind of like a communication gateway to your site. Jetpack, the WordPress Mobile Apps, and other plugins and services will use this file to communicate to your site. If this is blocked, you will have other issues pop-up down the road for the same reasons.

    Please note that we are constantly adding new hardware to our network to keep up with demand on our services. This means that these IP addresses could change (or be added to) at any time, and is yet another reason for why we discourage restricting XML-RPC access to specific IP addresses only.
