Hey Tanvir,

I have been having the same problem. iPage limit it to only 10 concurrent connections, and if you are an ecommerce site, you will get these connections. I was getting the same error message everytime, and that is only when I browse.

My advice, leave iPage, they do not help at all. They incorrectly added a zlib compression and failed to admit it, even though I had the proof in the chat. They told me I was on the latest php version and were very confident…when I told them that there is a php update and mine is actually old, they said “hold on I just found out we have a newer version” and only updated me to 5.6.6.

I started on a shared hosting pan and was getting so much problems, they told me I was using wordpress so I should use the WP Essentials plan. After believing them, I upgraded and I did not even see any changes. Afterwards, the mysql error came and ever since I keep getting max_user_connections. This is what I get:

Warning: mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/1203): User ng3cgl5bca already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections in /hermes/bosnaweb11a/b2199/ipg.alnuracom/al-nura.com/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1538 Deprecated: mysql_connect(): The mysql extension is deprecated and will be removed in the future: use mysqli or PDO instead in /hermes/bosnaweb11a/b2199/ipg.alnuracom/al-nura.com/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1568 Warning: mysql_connect(): User ng3cgl5bca already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections in /hermes/bosnaweb11a/b2199/ipg.alnuracom/al-nura.com/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1568

I told them and they did not even try to help, they said they were investigating it and all their responses through email was “you need VPS, there is no limit”, but my argument is, why did this happen with only me on it.

iPage refuse to upgrade your mysql, they will try and tell you that you don’t need it. The reason is that they only offer it to their VPS customers so you are left with no choice but to upgrade or leave. Believe me, it is best to leave.

Check your plugins, it could potentially be plugins that require some pages or facilities to not get cached. But even if it is fixed, leave iPage immediately.
