 * I’ve been having this problem for the last few months. We’re not a big website
   at all and on “busy days we get “Error establishing a database connection” pretty
   regularly and it wont let me onto the front or backend. In the last two days 
   it hasn’t gone away at all and my host has been very little help, except to tell
   me I’ve used my MySQL quota for the hour. Additionally, now I’m getting “User
   sd26q6w already has more than ‘max_user_connections’ active connections” at testdb.
   php. I’ve deactivated all my plugins by renaming them in /wp-content/ but I really
   don’t know where to begin or how to figure out what is taking such a large tole
   on my MySQL queries.
 * Any suggestions?

 * > MySQL quota for the hour
 * This issue is related to your web host setting the quota. What is that quota 
   and what is your website?

 * The quota is 75000 but it’s a small site and I have no way of finding out if 
   thats just straight traffic or something I can fix.

 * Please include the time period this quota applies to. In the meanwhile I shall
   run a few tests on the site.

 * Currently the site is down and Sucuri ‘thinks’ it _may_ be hacked – but often
   they report such only when a host is blocking a site. See:

 * Are you user “sd26q6w” and have you considered that the local machine (computer)
   you are using to admin your website could itself be compromised?

 * What would make it say that? I have no reason to believe its anything beside 
   MySQL query issues.
 * Is there any way to tell what is using so many of of allotted queries?
