 * what are the details of the DB host name in your `wp-config.php` file?
 *     ```
       /** MySQL hostname */
       define('DB_HOST', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxx');
       ```
   
 * and does the database still exist? in your host admin panel can you still see
   it, connect to it?
 * if so you probably just need to change the hostname configuration to point wordpress
   to the right place.
