So an update. After trying everything, I finally worked with a friend who is comfortable with Linux stuff to create a DreamCompute instance. We installed Debian on it and then a recent build of MySQL. Imported the database and switched to this server. And I had no issues yesterday.
This is their cheapest computing instance. Costs around USD 10 per month (which is still 66% of the cost of a VPS which is completely managed by them). It has access to one CPU, 1GB of RAM and 80GB storage. I am barely using 300MB RAM at full load. Though running a mysqldump or sql import command pretty much eats up all available resources.
I plan to continue using this solution as long as it works. Meanwhile I would keep my eyes on something better.
But now one thing is clear… There is something wrong with Dreamhost MySQL servers.
PS. I am running the default MySQL configuration. If anyone has any advice on some basic settings that I should modify to suit XenForo, that would be cool. Thanks!
