Important note: MySQL support was discontinued on most new servers as of 3/20/08. Accounts established after that date may not have access to MySQL.

In order to prevent excessive use by one site negatively impacting the performance of our MySQL servers, we limit the number of connections to the servers. The maximum connection limit is set to 50 connections per user. This limit is in place to maintain stability, it is not a guaranteed level of service.

If your application requires more connections, we recommend that you change your application to use persistent database connections or pooled database connections.
