 * After several hours of investigation I’ve found that my site has heen attacked
   with 160k+ attempts to bruteforce my administrative account, so this caused my
   virtual host to exceed the CPU time limits. This problem was instantly solved
   only after I added IP of the attacker to deny list in the.htaccess file.
 * My hoster BTW didn’t found the cause of this problem, but did something with 
   limits allowing me to at least access the site during my investigation.
 * So, problem solved, the cause is described above.
