HELP: Suspicious traffic from Ashburn!?!

I just created a new site less than a month ago, and it's still in the works. I've just been working hard to produce a lot of content. So, I'm not expecting a lot of traffic at this point because my new website hasn't quite even taken shape yet. I hadn't really taken much notice of my traffic analytics because I didn't expect much to be there.
Surprisingly, when I looked into my analytics today, I saw a huge spike in the last couple of days. At first, I was super thrilled. I was like, YES, it's starting to get traffic already. But, then I dug deeper into exactly where this traffic was coming from and what pages are they viewing the most.
I found this...
Traffic from...
Pages viewed...
In fact, when I just pulled up analytics, there were 5 people active right that second!! It was quite shocking at first, but they were all coming from one place. Ashburn.
Now, I'm not quite sure whether to be excited that I have traffic flowing or be concerned that there are randoms folks out there that are just viewing my site.
I researched a bit in Google if there were anyone else facing similar issues. A few people seemed to have been in similar situations and someone mentioned it could be bots or crawlers or something of that sort. I'm not quite familiar with that.
I couldn't really find anyone in WA who had faced similar situation. So, I geniunely want a suggestion. What do you think is happening here? Anything I should be concerned about? I'm not the most tech-savvy guy out there so I really don't know how to go about blocking people if that's the route I need to take.
If there is anyone that knows, please let me know. I'd love the help!
Thanks y'all!
You will see ways to prevent these bots from coming to your site, however, if you do implement a solution, do so with caution as if there are genuine people in Ashburn visiting your site, you will be blocking them too.
Personally, I wouldn't bother too much about trying to 'fix this' unless you think your site is un-secure and are concerned with the bots doing some damage.
If your site is hosted here, you have nothing to fear.
Yes, it's annoying and will skew your stats especially if they spend a few minutes - your bounce rate will go up which isn't a nice thing to happen.
I think once these bots try and try and "can't get through", they will leave you alone.
All the best!
