Understanding the Limits of Simultaneous Connections to MySQL / MariaDB
This guide details the restrictions related to the number of simultaneous connections allowed on the MySQL databases of the web hosting plans.
MySQL Simultaneous Connection Limits
To ensure the stability, security, and responsiveness of the server for all users, the system applies limits to the number of simultaneous connections.
For each database user at Infomaniak, the limit is set to 38 simultaneous MySQL connections.
This quota prevents any saturation of shared resources. If this threshold is exceeded, access is temporarily blocked, and errors such as User has already more than 'max_user_connections' active connections or Too many connections may appear.
In practice, this threshold is rarely reached. If necessary, it is quite possible to distribute the load by creating separate MySQL users for the different scripts or services on your site.
No hourly connection quota
Infomaniak does not impose any restrictions on the number of requests per hour.Settings such as MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR or MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR are not enabled.
Unlike some competing offers, you will not encounter resource limit errors of the type SQL Error: 1226 related to hourly activity volume.
