No to defend MySQL Hosting, but I'm quite sure you wouldn't been able to use
the mysqladmin tool against your old web hosts mysql server, as thise are in
99.9% configured to only accept connections from the webserver and deny all
other connections. While MySQL Hosting seems to allow you to connect from your
own desktop at home, and this way make it possible to use the mysqladmin tool.
