In fact, hosting companies can, and do, limit access to database servers so
that they only can be reached through the web server or through trusted
sources. I've worked with hosting companies who've done these things for
their clients.
If you're talking about shared hosting, though, I'm not sure how I'd respond
to that. I'm not a big fan of any sort of shared hosting, when it comes to
security concerns, though.
