"Ocassional" Database Unavailable

My website is: http://99.redballoons.nu

I am getting this only message: Database Unavailable.

My website had been working very well so it’s not an installation problem and I didn’t mess around with any database information.

I looked for any related topic in Textpattern’s FAQ and the only two things I found relevant were these two articles:

http://textpattern.com/faq/149/occasional-database-unavailable-errors
http://textpattern.com/faq/230/textpattern-suddenly-stopped-working

In the first article.. it talked about it being “occasional” so I don’t know if Im being overly impatient.. or if occasional means 4 days in a row… >.<

If I’m not mistaken.. I think I installed a plugin related to sitemaps. This one:
http://compooter.org/2005/06/google-sitemaps-textpattern/

Can someone please help me what possesed my website? I’m hosted in a subdomain.. and the girl hosting me is not a php/mysql/or even tp guru. (not even myself, I barely know how to install TXP :) )

PLEASE HELP.

Hosting.

Just for shits and giggles get a free hosting account somewhere and compare.

Thanks! I’ll check…
Just what about ‘hosting’ exactly? maybe I can kindly tell my host what is the problem so she can fix it?

Yes, point her to the FAQ you found….

Also, check your db with phpMyAdmin, as it might need some repairs.
