# SQL Database Query limits exceeded – redirects users to /install.php

 * Good afternoon.
 * We’ve been at the mercy of iPage for some time now when we hit our SQL query 
   limit. I’ve increased it twice already, but when we have a new template that 
   misbehaves, or a WordFence scan that goes into an endless loop, etc., we just
   hit the limit.
 * I’m not sure if it’s WordPress or iPage that is forcing a redirect to the /install.
   php of a website’s URL. It occurs on every one of our websites that share the
   SQL database.
 * Any ideas? It’s killing us here.
 * Thanks much!

 * Sounds like you simply need to change hosts. I’ve never heard of a host that 
   requires you to raise a query limit. See [Recommended WordPress Web Hosting](http://wordpress.org/hosting/)
 * When you get a redirect to install.php, it means the current site can’t access
   the database, which iPage must be killing due to your usage.
