I doubt the number of modifications installed has much of an influence as most of these will be re-using the connection already opened by vBulletin.

Well its more then enough for a shared hosting.

Allot of people here say 25 connection is to low, or the provider doesn't raise limit, etc. But from what I know im sure they are probably on a shared 10$ a month plan.

MySQL uses allot of ram. People always want a full server for 5$ a bucks a month. Im being there and done that. If you are paying a shared hosting account, its not made for heavy traffic boards/forums.

I also think the plugins you have are abusive if you really are on shared host, and they are probably causing the connection. You may have it now 2 twice a month but if your traffic increase you will have it more and more. I suggest to move to a VPS account.
