I had bought my domain 3 months ago. Even I used to get same error. I tried to search in google and found .htaccess code that helped me. I copied the below text and paste it in the .htaccess file at the root of my domain.

I suggest you to do the same. May it help you.

<IfModule mod_security.c>
    # Turn off mod_security filtering.  SMF is a big boy, it does not need its hands held.
    SecFilterEngine Off

    # The below probably isn't needed, but better safe than sorry.
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
