   we faced a bandwidth error in terms of server and server side guys fixed this
   error. And the site back to normal stage.
 * Today it showing an error message ‘Error in establishing database connection’,
   hence, if we refresh the page the site appear normal, after refreshing the page
   again it’ll show same error again. This error is appears and disappears in the
   wp-admin area as well.
 * If anyone could make us a solution for this to fix this error. Please help on
   this issue. What may this problem.

 * Since it is intermittent, it sounds like a problem with your server/web host.
