Error Establishing Database Connection

I’ve been having this issue since I setup this droplet roughly a month ago. I’m paying for the $10 WordPress server which should be more than capable of handing this website. It’s 10 pages are receiving virtually no traffic. I have websites on the $5 servers that are much larger and handle daily traffic fine.

I’ve installed htop and sometimes if I click around too quickly in Wordpress it causes the server to use to much ram. That’s not much of an issue. The issue is the server randomly crashing hundreds of times a day.

I don’t believe it’s my theme or my plugins. I’ve used this same theme and plugins on other websites with no problems.

Also, I followed the instruction on how to turn off XML-RPC so that won’t be the cause.

I have hundreds of these each day. /var/log/mysql/error.log:2017-07-21T14:16:46.127753Z 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: Cannot allocate memory for the buffer pool /var/log/mysql/error.log:2017-07-21T14:17:16.670788Z 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: Cannot allocate memory for the buffer pool /var/log/mysql/error.log:2017-07-21T14:17:47.151463Z 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: Cannot allocate memory for the buffer pool /var/log/mysql/error.log:2017-07-21T14:18:17.705673Z 0 [ERROR] InnoDB: Cannot allocate memory for the buffer pool
