 * Hello, my host, one.com, recently decided to pull the plug on my blog, claiming
   that my MySQL queries created too much load on the server. They provided me with
   a fairly unspecific explanation suggesting that the problem arises from this 
   query (which does not tell me much):
 * > Query SELECT comment_ID, comment_author,
    > comment_author_email, comment_author_url,
   > comment_date, comment_content, comment_
 * Furthermore, they are “99% sure that it is an ORDER BY that creates the problem”.
 * Admittedly, I am fairly – to put it mildy – inept when it comes to database questions,
   so I would appreciate any pedagogical suggestions as to how I might go about 
   solving the problem and resuscitating my blog.
 * Thank you.

 * Do you have a ton of comments on your blog? It looks like it’s really struggling
   to pull in all of the data in regard to them. Also, if you are getting this much
   stuff happening with your blog, you may want to consider upgrading to a dedicated
   server or more robust hosting plan–you may be outgrowing your servers capability
   to handle your traffic.
