Hi,

I've noticed that one of our Linux standard reseller hosting package i got, I can easily access any of MySQL web server database which is on any domain we are hosting. Is there any way where i can managing to restrict the access for a specific web hosting.

You can use the encryption hash key in your web hosting database configuration file as that won't allow any of the other user to access on same server, any other can not access your database by the necessary changes. Other users can easily access only if they manage to read the content of your configuration file. Its really difficult to read content of the configuration files from remote location.
