MySQL Locked Out

[grpace]

After a few days of inconsitent connections through HTTP and FTP, I get this error this week...

mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Host 'int.lotus.x10hosting.com' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'.

The script is calling 'localhost'... not the host listed here.

I get the same error with phpMyAdmin.

However, I see no tool to 'flush hosts'.

After setting up the database with *several* tables last week, the mySQL Databases and mySQL Database wizard shows no databases associated with my account.

What happened ???

Lotus server is temporarily down for maintenance. Staff is working to resolve issue as quickly as possible.

Will this mean completely setting up the database again ?

Fortunately, I saved the db dumps on my machine.
If so, it shouldn't be much of a problem re-importing the dumps through phpMyAdmin.

Also...
What kind of time frame are we looking at ?

There is no need for you to setup database again .

Just a thought...

Is this going to happen often ?

Is it advisable to write the scripts with this in mind and catch the error...
Give the visitor a friendly message instead of the script completely bombing-out ??
