Thought my server was down, so i contacted my host, the reply was:

"Upon further examination, it appears that it was not the firewall
that was blocking you. cPanel itself blocked you from accessing the
server due to the amount of connections you were making to the
server."

does cpanel normally do this, or is it a setting that the host can
setup?

I know I had a lot of connections since I was checking emails (using
Horde) and uploading/downloading making changes, adding news, etc..
but isn't that normal? lol

I recently had the same experience. I was getting many timeouts and my
clients were seeing 404's. When I contacted my host, they sent me a few
lines of some log that showed I had 423 "connections" but I'm only
allotted 75 (or something near). I forwarded my correspondence to my host
administrator, but I've heard nothing since. The problem has subsided
somewhat, but not entirely.

This was a different response than I usually get..."We've been under a DOS
attack..." ;-)

Well, I just got an email from them saying they put my IP on the
'allow list' since I emailed them and said I made a lot of updates,
sent a lot of emails, etc.
