Default Site going down in early morning

FYI...a few times lately (not sure how many), the site has gone down in the early morning, around 7 am or so EDT. This morning was the latest. Happened about 7:15. Back up maybe an hour later?

I discuss the issue here: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...post&p=13542950

It's something I'll be fixing within in the next couple of days.

Looks like this morning the site stayed up past 7.

How about the site spitting out blank pages?
This seems to happen pretty frequently over the past week or so and happens at all hours of the day.

Chris and Deb - I'm getting the feeling we need to move to a different time zone

That is caused by the database server running out of available connections. The limit is currently 200 which is all we can support in the 6GB of RAM the database server has. I have a great deal of database maintenance and optimization work that I need to do which I hope I can do this Saturday but it's going take 6-8 hours (best guess) and the site needs to be offline for this to happen. A faster server will spend less time servicing each connection and therefore be able to handle more connections per minute making the blank page problem less likely.
