Error establishing a database connection

you login by following that link on the right hand side that says “login”.

note that that link may not be something you want to leave there once you get your blog all to your liking, so most people just bookmark where that goes.

as for that error you are seeing — intermittent connection issues such as you describe are host problems. especially in your case.

do you think i’ll have this problem alot with Funpic? I was thinking of taking a basic godaddy hosting plan? Are there good for wordpress?

a paid godaddy acct??? godaddy is fine, just insure that you get the Linux plan and not the windows plan.

I think their proprietary control panel blows and is very confusing .. but other than that, yah it works.

generally speaking, I just prefer a host that uses cpanel.

is funpic one of those free hosts? if so, than yes, you may see intermittent issues like this. free hosts tend to suck.

yea I was thinking of there most basic paid account (as i dont need too much Gb right now)

what’s the difference between Linux and windows?

what’s the difference between Linux and windows?

apples and oranges.

In the case of hosting environments, it would take me all day to explain the differences. Suffice to say that unless you want to run ASP you dont want or need a windows based server.

godaddy is also notorious for their windows servers not playing nice with wordpress.

I have Vista on my PC

can I have a Linux hosting plan when I only have windows OS on my PC?

Yes…it makes no difference type local system you have.
