Have you kept an eye on the reports page (admin/reports/dblog) ? If you can get to the watchdog table, you might see the errors in there. That's a good place to start. If you can restart the system (do you use cpanel or plesk? It should have a restart system link or button) and it works for a while, you might be using up memory or all available mysql connections. If the only way you can get the system to start again is dropping the database and re-installing, the database tables are probably being corrupted. I've seen mysql fail before apache if a system gets too busy.

@Earnie : Sorry, being a bit amateurish, I am not sure what you mean by rebooting the server instance and how to do that. I do know that deleting the whole database and/or drupal files and doing a fresh installment and restoring the db from another backup makes the forms work, but only for like few hours before the error reappears.
@Fred : I want to make sure that the problem is from their side. I don't wanna switch to another hosting only to find the error still there.
@Eric: hacked!!!! Now that's reassuring :)

If you reboot the server instance, everything, not just Drupal, does it go away for a while? -- Earnie -- http://progw.com -- http://www.for-my-kids.com -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]
