Whoops, sorry.
No problemo. I just wanted to make sure everyone realized that I don't actually have access to the server itself. It would be much easier if I did.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
In this as in so many other things...
Begins plotting takeover of the universe by a brilliant, foamy snark of Buffistae.

So who wants to give the Buffistas a nice new Xserve and the a place to hook it up to some bandwidth?
Someone?
Anyone?
Pretty Please?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You're saying that we need either a patron, a lottery win, or a sugar daddy?

Hell, I could use one of those three...
What are the usage parameters we're looking for?

The problem, as I understand it, isn't "usage parameters." It's finding a host who's willing to work with us to figure out what bug, at their end, could be causing our connections to max out. My guess, and it's just a guess, is that there are some obscure MySQL/PHP parameters that need to be tweaked, but it's not stuff that we have access to. Only the root user can get at them.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
This problem has driven me to the edge of madness, and I'm dipping my toes in its rancid tide.

So, forgive me if this has already been discussed to death, but, well, Buffista...
1. We wish to stay with the MySQL/PHP combination.
2. Root user means the owner of the server itself, yes?

So I know this came up before and there were concerns that it might not be a good way to go, but what would be the upside/downside to maintaining our own machine? We would obviously need to have a place to hook it up and pay for bandwidth, but we'd be guaranteed access at all levels and it would be dedicated.
I honestly don't know the advantages/disadvantages. Depending on the type of hardware needed, I could possibly even provide the machine.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The biggest disadvantage at this point is that it's way more expensive.
1. We wish to stay with the MySQL/PHP combination.
All the code is written that way. It was tha assumption from the start.
2. Root user means the owner of the server itself, yes?
Yup, or anyone they trust enough to give that kind of access, which is usually no one.
