Finally got an answer from the web host. It appears they took my advice and looked at logs (imagine that!). They found a blog web site on my same server which had been hogging a lot of mySQL connections. They're opinion is this sort of web site should be on a dedicated server. So they suspended the site.

According to their estimates, 200 connections and 50,000 queries are the max per hour. I'm not sure if these are at a "per server" or "per web site" threshold.

I'm up and running now...

thanks all for your suggestions!
