Can't select database

    When I try to access my website from the admin section (www.elizabethzhenliu.com/wp-admin/ the message below appears.

    Can’t select database
    We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the wordpress_d6ijnifk6e database.

    Are you sure it exists?
    Does the user 0X75v42b47CmrAf have permission to use the wordpress_d6ijnifk6e database?
    On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_wordpress_d6ijnifk6e. Could that be the problem?
    If you don’t know how to set up a database you should contact your host. If all else fails you may find help at the WordPress Support Forums.

    I’m a complete newbie at this so I have no idea how to do anything. Yesterday morning it kept telling me to install wordpress (even though I had already installed it) but then it just magically came back. Last time it was doing the same and this morning it can’t connect to the server. I’m using iPage to host if that helps.

    I just contacted my host and they said my queries were exceeding 75,000/hr. What does that mean?

    Those issues point at the host iPage; ask them. Their servers are intermittent and unreliable.

    I asked iPage and they said it was because my queries are exceeding 75,000/hr. What does that mean? I am thinking about switching to arvixe. Would that be any better?

    Ask them to look into the query issue more. iPage as a whole may be getting DDOS’d. Unless your site have been hacked or you have a plugin that has gone crazy.
