I have a Wordpress Blog with ~ 6K posts. In the past when I used a shared hosting, my hosting company said that I used too many CPU. They asked me optimized and indexed my database. I bought a clound hosting (512 MB memory) since few days.but some time when I connect to my blog, there is a error 'Error establishing a database connection", and I must restart mySQL. Did someone have the same issue ? Please help. Thank you

Another option would be to optimize the my.cnf file so it uses less RAM, possibly limiting maximum concurrent connections and increasing some cache values.
