WordPress is acting up…

    For the second time today, I got this message:

    Error establishing a database connection
    This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at amyrbiddle.ipagemysql.com. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

    Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
    Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
    Are you sure that the database server is running?
    If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

    I haven’t been doing anything irregular. So I’m not sure what the problem is.

    Have you asked your hosting providers whether they have any insight?

    Please check if you have entered the correct database name, database username, database password and MySQL hostname in your wp-config.php file. If this doesn’t help, check if you have a working database (i.e., with no empty tables, damaged or corrupt data)
