my VPS hosting company - KnownHost - is telling me that my Wordpress blogs are causing 'maximum connections' from my server IP address. They say the following: On checking the Apache connections to the server, we noticed maximum connections from with the server IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xx. This usually happens due to a coding issue. If you are using URL's for eg: http://domainname.com/test instead of the physical path /home/domainn/public_html/test, this is creating a new connection to the server from the server itself. This should be avoided for not overloading the Apache server. is this something inherent in Wordpress or are there any fixes/plugins to correct this? does anyone know?
