Have you checked your code? And maybe there a DDOS attack going on.

I don’t recognize this error message, so I created a tiny testing script to verify whether any PHP code on your account can execute. You can see it here: http://bloxercity.epizy.com/phptest.php

As you can see, arbitrary PHP code can be executed on your website, which tells me your hosting account is working normally.

I also took a quick poke through your website code. In the file connection.php on line 7, I found this line of code:

$connection = @mysql_connect("sql201.rf.gd","rfgd_19602460","********") or die("We are currently overloaded with users. Please try again in 1-5 minutes. Do not constantly refresh the page.");

The thing is that the while the username and database host displayed there look like valid database information, the username and database host are not the ones of your hosting account. The password also doesn’t match.

So please update your database connection details and see if that fixes your website. Although I do wonder how it could have worked before.

If it still doesn’t work, that may be caused by the fact that you’re running on PHP 7.3, but are using the legacy mysql_* functions to connect to the database. These functions were removed from PHP 7, so you should move to mysqli or PDO instead. Alternatively, you could try to downgrade your account to PHP 5.6 first while you’re updating your software.
