DVDs.ie has been taken offline, as the server simply did not have enough RAM.
I've ordered extra RAM and will put the site back online once I have the RAM installed.
For the past 48 hours the site has been slow, while the server itself has been nearly always inaccessible via ssh, due to MySQL eating cpu and ram. It seems like the GoogleBot started crawling and "upset" the backend, which is more than a bit silly.
Ah well.. I needed to get more RAM for that server anyway

It may be that my.cnf needs to be tweaked as well. The query cache might be one thing that could be increased. Google seems to be hammering some db backed sites recently in trying to extend its deep web spidering.

Do you have any suggestions on how to optimise my.cnf?
