As we found out, each of your cpanel account allow you to execute 25 MySQL database connection at the same time. Usually a PHP script that carry out sequence of mysql queries will complete the query within second and close the database connection, regardless how many queries per connection, its counted as one database connection only. The chance to have 25 simultaneous mysql database connection at one time from your cpanel account is very small. Unless you are running a website with thousand of user online at the same time for example.

Also, hostgator mysql server will timeout in 15 to 30 second of inactivity. Meaning the mysql database connection made will be terminated if there is no activity by php scritps for example. This help recover and release the database resource back to server.
