Sometimes, my WordPress site goes down (usually brought to my attention by someone visiting my site) and I have to reboot the droplet via “sudo shutdown -r now”
Why is this happening? What can I do to prevent this?

Ok, then you can increase your memory size.
The size will be based on your usage.
So, for now, you can increase it to 2GB. Then restart via putty. Check if it is working or not.
Yes, you just upgrade CPU and RAM only.
Ok.
If the website is working fine, then you don’t have to touch it again.
Sorry I am also not having that much experience on these things “Cannot allocate memory for the buffer pool”.
I have also faced this issue many times in my client’s websites “Error establishing a database connection”.
So I came to fix this issue following those instructions. That’s what I can help you to fix that issue.
Still, you’re having any doubts you can send the tickets to support team.
Thanks :)
