First off I want to say I love(d) Serendipity, but today I was greeted with a not so friendly message when I visited my webpage. Instead of my normal homepage I had a message in black text saying my account had been suspended and that I needed to contact the host asap. I checked my email and found the following (note DB xxxxxx_chad is my serendipity DB):
Hello,
Your site has been suspended for using too many server resorces. You need
to move this site to a dedicated server. The excessive usage was over 70
simulatinous queries to the databases:
xxxxxx_bbforum
xxxxxx_chad
I've never had this happen while using this host for over a year. I responded and asked what the problem was:
xxxxxx_chad is mainly the problem can I remove that database and reopen your account?
Any clue why this would occur? My blog had less than 5 entries and less than 5 people even knew about it, yet somehow it overloaded my server. In order to get my site back up I had to have the DB deleted.
