Yes, I saw the database connection post, but the error messages I get say nothing about database (though when the hosting service tech support told me that the web server and database server were on different hardware, it occurred to me that there might be some issue in cross machine communications. Just my guess.).
Spent some time with goDaddy tech support having them watch processes... they saw nothing that indicated anything was overloaded, per se. My ability to monitor the server environment is pretty non-existent beyond that.
Saw some other goDaddy-related posts that suggest there may be some php configuration changes that might help, but nothing definite. I posted questions there as well.
One of my next steps is to back-up the question pool in the System context and delete questions there to see if that solves the problem. However, that will be disruptive and I'm hoping to find another solution.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
