 * My host has suspending my site, VUhoops.com for the following reasons:
 * “We have noticed that several instances of script ‘index.php’ was running in 
   server which was causing heavy load. Hence, we have suspended website and CGI.
   Please optimize the scripts in order to remove suspension from your website and
   CGI.”
 * I have no idea what to do to even begin troubleshooting this. Any ideas?
 * Thanks so much in advance.

 * You’re dealing with a crappy host, i.e. fatcow. Your site probably gets a lot
   of traffic and you’re using lots of plugins, which normally isn’t an issue. But
   when other sites on the same shared server are busy. they blame everyone.
