   This is my first post, so hopefully I'm doing this right.

   I'm getting an "error establishing database connection" when I try to access my website.

   http://www.definingcharacters.com

   I've noticed this problem before, and it usually resolves itself... but this time it looks like it has been occurring for the past 3 hours.

   I've changed nothing on my site in the past 24 hours, no configuration changes, no new posts, nothing.

   Hoping someone has some insight on why this happens, and what I can do to resolve?

   J.T.

   Get a better host. If you didn't do anything and it is down - it happens on the host's end. If it happens often, time to look for a better service.

   Shoot, I thought Yahoo Web Hosting was reliable??

   Actually, I just called them, and they said that since I can access my Web control panel, then the problem is on the WordPress side?
