server crash today?

first time i've seen it down for a couple hours in years....

things ok now?

It seems to be okey now. It looks like it was a corrupt database table that caused a very high server load.

I had a minor crash in october also, see http://www.pingdom.com/reports/1ie6t...=videohelp.com

First I got the message "too many connections sql.... blah blah...." repeated many times over the sites normal front page display then when I refreshed I got a black page with the message

IPS Driver error. There appears to be an error with the database

It's fine now.
