# SQL queries limit exceeded forces redirect to ***.com/wp-admin/install.php

 * Good morning.
    I assume this issue has been around since the beginning of WordPress,
   however, it really is unacceptable to have a website redirect to the install 
   page when SQL queries have reached their limit. This allows the general public
   to ‘reinstall’ your website from scratch. Our web hosting company, iPage indicates
   the only way around this is to buy additional query limits. I have renamed ‘install.
   php’ as a stopgap, but would really appreciate any input into a real solution
   to this issue
 * Many thanks.

 * I think better idea would be deny acces to that file in .htaccess file, bc. after
   update your install.php will be back.
