# Do you block AI crawlers like GPTBot and ClaudeBot?

## Answer

Yes, bots that collect training data for AI models are blocked for all hosting accounts, for example GPTBot, CCBot and Bytespider.

Bots that fetch pages when someone searches or asks an AI get through, so your website can still appear in AI answers.

## Good to know

- The block applies to everyone and can’t be turned off for a single domain. `robots.txt` and `.htaccess` don’t affect it.
- Tools like Ahrefs may be blocked if they put load on the server. If you need them, tell [support](https://inleed.com/helpcenter/contact-support) why, and they can be let in for your domain.
