My site was suspended! Please help!

First time ever but my site was suspended. I'll post the email below. I was told if it happens again, I'm outta there and I've been in business for 7 years with this company.I don't know what happened. If someone can help me out here, I'd so appreciate it!

I do know the MSN Bot visited at 12:15 right before all these queries, do you think it's possible the bot did this? If so, how can if be corrected so it doesn't happen again. If it happens again, they will shut me down!

Thanks in advance!

~Marie

Below is the email and partial queries/problem: (shortened due to length of email)

Dear Customer,

One of your domains, XXXXX.com, has been suspended for excessive system resource usage due to single MySQL connections executing over 320 MySQL queries. Two examples of this occurring are attached. This sort of activity cannot be tolerated in a shared hosting environment.

Regards,
XXX

Re: My site was suspended! Please help!

I would suggest you find a real hosting company able to handle e-commerce, php and MySQL that is not going to impose limits like that on you ...

Perhaps one of our Certified Hosting sites from the link at the top of your screen can help you ...

Re: My site was suspended! Please help!

so do you think it was caused by the BOTS?

Thanks Linda, this has never happened, totally shocked me! I don't know what caused it, I've never had it happen before and never had a website suspended. You know I've been around for awhile!

Guess I'll go hosting shopping!

Re: My site was suspended! Please help!

thats a typical query
thats just opening the page and showing the template,
picking the products to display for sale items,

10 Query select sale_specials_condition, sale_deduction_value

I would never be able to stay in Business if I got that strict.
ALL we do is ecommerce

No, it's caused by a webhost that is unwilling to support Zen Cart or osCommerce shops. Both carts require heavy query access to mysql and that is why there is a Zen certified host listing here.

Re: My site was suspended! Please help!

They say they support Zen Cart. I've been with them 7 years and had OCommerce prior and never had a problem with them at all. This was a first for me.

Re: My site was suspended! Please help!

bare,

they can tell you a bag full of poo is a delicacy in some other country but are you gonna eat it?

Please dont take what I just said as picking on you or anything,

anyone can put in fantastico but it dosnt mean that they are optomized for e-commerce.

Zen Cart at this time has more querries than OSC, this is because it does alot more, eitherway the server is not designed with e-commerce in mind.

this statement says a mouthful

This sort of activity cannot be tolerated in a shared hosting environment. that is not an accurate statement,
the difference is if you try to put 2000 people on a server or not,
what kind of hardware you are running and also how you have allocated memory
