The Powerhost shared MySQL database server ‘mysql1′ experienced issues for around 40 minutes this afternoon due to high load.  Customers using a MySQL database on their website may have noticed a decrease in performance or error loading their website.

This problem was quickly rectified by engineers.  Maintenance is to be scheduled next week in order to pre-empt further issues and extra monitoring has been added to this server.
