I know that this is likely not the right place to ask this question but I am at a loss as to where else to go. I signed up on remotemysql.com to create a (free) database. The data that I store in there means a lot to me, and in the last day or so, I am no longer able to connect to the server (neither from MySQL Workbench nor a python application that wrote data to it). The error I get is a 2003 error: connection refused
I haven't changed my credentials at all and have not violated any of the terms and conditions. Has anybody ever had this issue before? Or does anybody know how to get in touch with the maintainers of remotemysql to help troubleshoot?
Thanks so much for the help.
For anyone who is looking at this thread, my DB instance has been restored. Not sure what happened and will probably never find out, but I guess this comes with the territory.
