 * Frequently is see the message : Error establishing a database connection.
    I 
   know what it means and after a minute, my blog will work again. But I wondered
   if this is cause of a free hosting plan, or just the web host it self ( awardspace)?

 * Yes, awardspace is notorious (for the last 3 years that I remember) for having
   problems with their database servers.
 * Recommend you find new host if you want to solve that problem.
