How to disable spawn protection

The spawn protection on Minecraft servers prevents players from destroying, placing and interacting with both blocks and entities within a given radius of the world spawn point. By default, with any installation of a Minecraft server, the coverage is a 16 by 16 chunk region.

To disable this spawn protection, go to your server's file manager located at Basic > File Manager and open the server.properties file.
Inside that file, look for a line starting with spawn-protection and replace the value, 16 by default, with 0 and restart your server.
