Subject: Database Size Warning
Dear Customer,
We are contacting you with regard to a database on your account called (cl60-a-wordp-jby) attached to
the hosting package (murashdom.com). Your database is currently 1012.6MB in size,
which exceeds the permitted limit of 500MB. We'd like to help you try and reduce the
size of your database, bringing it back under our permitted limit. It is quite likely that a single
table within your database is causing the problem, and all that will be necessary is to reduce the
size of it. This is especially likely if you're running a forum, they can quickly become very large
in size if they have been subjected to automated spam. Very large databases do negatively impact
server performance, if we do not hear back from you then we may need to disable yours. If the
database remains too large and no action is taken after it has been disabled, then the database may
be deleted.
Best Wishes
