Hi abstrait,

MySQL should be working fine now. If you still face any issues, let me know. I can't really comment on the legitimacy of the websites, but we do work with our clients privately, if requested, to see how best we can overcome the issues their websites face. Most of the time its poorly written scripts that get exploited and cause these troubles.

The server is capable of handling large traffic, infact we have servers with same specs in the same DC that handle many more accounts without any issues. So its definitely not the server specs or "overloaded" resources. Its only when we see unnatural rise in traffic that we block IPs opening multiple connections to the server. Also this block is temporary i.e. removed after few hours.

Thanks,
