Our Hosting company is Hostforweb.com They did this migration from a datacenter in Chicago to New York in December and we are now having serious performance problems (they said the datacenter in Chicago was too expensive). They even said they moved us to a fast machine on a fast node after we complained of performance problems. Today, the sites are loading extremely slow and we get the following Error when going to the Admin login page:
There has been an error processing your request SQLSTATE[HY000] [2006] MySQL server has gone away

Where can I find the Error log?
I made a ticket with the hosting company but they just answered this:
Currently, I see 4.55 requests/sec being served by the host which is quite normal and cannot be considered as an attack. However, this causes over 100% load and this is the reason your website is slow. The scripts running in your Magento store require more server resources than your server is providing.
What can I do to make it work again? I restarted Apache, MySQL, and the entire server 3 times.
PS: This is what they said about optimizing Magento:
I have checked your server and found that your website https://www.whateverplace.com/ is generating a large count of HTTP processes which is taking all resources of the server. This was already stated in the same discussion and you need to review your Magento store with a professional developer in order to optimize it.
UDATE:
Now I'm able to go through the steps of placing an order but when I click the SUBMIT button - it gives the following Error:
> There has been an error processing your request SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002]
> No such file or directory

The orders have NOT been placed. And I'm getting it in the Admin panel as well.
