If your host shut you down, it is because you are in shared hosting and you are performing too many database accesses.

OpenX is PHP. It uses PHP scripts to cache database accesses. All you needed to do is to use a PHP caching extension.

Most shared hosting companies do not have PHP caching extensions because they have no clue what they are doing.

They just install a random Linux distribution that comes with severely unoptimized PHP binaries that rely a lot on shared libraries. Just that fact makes PHP run 30% slower.

It is not sufficient to buy a good car. You also have to take driver lessons.

The solution is to get at least a VPS and compile PHP and a caching extension manually.
