# Prevent redirect to wp-admin/install.php when SQL limit reached

 * Hi. I’ve looked through all of the forums and am unable to find a solution to
   this. iPage is our hosting provider and has SQL limits that reset to zero every
   hour. When we exceed our limit, the website always redirects to xxx.com/wp-admin/
   install.php. This is a crappy deal for our end users.
 * Is there anyway around this? Perhaps redirect to a ‘Website is under maintenance’
   page?
 * Many thanks.

 * Perhaps change your host or ask iPage to raise your database usage quota.

 * iPage won’t do it for the hosting plan we are on. So there’s no hack to prevent
   the end-user from seeing the wp-admin/install.php?

 * At the point this happens, WP is broken so you’re out of luck.
 * Find another host. No miracle “hack” can save you.
