When trying to publish my site using a web deploy I am getting following error:
Error 1 Web deployment task failed. (The maximum number of connections for this site has been exceeded.
Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_EXCEEDED_MAX_SITE_CONNECTIONS.)
My website is hosted over a shared host. I already raised this issue to the hosting provider and asked them to restart "Web Management Services" in reply of which they said that they have "restarted publishing service on server". But this error is still not resolved.
What else should I do? Is there something I should check on my side or is it totally a server/hosting provider’s issue?
You either have a ton of traffic on this site or the hoster is oversubscribing the box. An IIS restart may fix it temporarily.
