There's work being done on the servers at the moment. You're the 3rd or 4th one to post about this very same issue. I advise to just wait it out.

Just Wait it Out ??
Not a very 'promising' response.

Just a tip I'm considering...
I've asked this and got no response so far...

It may be advisable for both of us to re-write our scripts with this possible error in mind. It can be done through (php) try/catch statements surrounding the MySQL block of 'connection code'.

The 'catch' part of the statement can re-direct to a friendly message instead of the script completely bombing-out. It won't solve the fact that the visitor can't view your db-driven site, but at least they get a friendly message.

In all truth...
It's a bit more coding... but...
We probably should be coding our scripts like that, anyway.

@grpace This is a very good idea, but it's better to post this idea in the feedback and suggestions forum. I think you should be heard there instead of this being buried in a couple of support threads. http://x10hosting.com/forums/feedback-suggestions/
