    When I go to my site angel-elf.com I get the error message
    WordPress
    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 mysql27.secureserver.net.

    * 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 dont even get a chance to put in username or password,
    I know the URL is correct and I was able to get into the database server. What else can I do????

    We are facing the same problem. From time to time WordPress fails in generating pages and gives ut the message above instead. Could this be caused by overload? Too many visitors? Search engine spiders? And if so: Is there anything that can be done to alleviate the problem?

    It’s caused by your host.
    They do not have the equipment to properly serve your site – and it’s not load or visitors. Sites with thousands of visitors do not get this – you might want to think about moving host.

    Thank you very much for the response. We are using Verio Virtual Private Servers we believed this solution to be good enough, but it clearly is not. I will take the liberty of quoting you in mai correspondence with them!

    Just and update for information purposes. We finally found the source of the problem, which was not WordPress related at all. Due a large amount of spam mail sent to our server (some 15,000 a day!!!) the number of processes going on at the same time exceeded the limit given by our host. Hence WordPress just timed out. We have now reconfigured the mail server to reject emails going to generated addresses that are not defined by us. This seems to work.
