Hi,
I have hosting with "859compute", the hosting service has been reasonably good with fast speeds and hardly any downtime as such. But I have come across quite a strange problem???

My website has been online with them for just over two months, working perfectly, but recently I got this error...



(This is not my picture, this is just one I found on Google, but it's basically the same)

So, after loads of tweaking here and there, I still couldn't get this resolved. Thankfully I had made a backup of my website from a few days previous of this error, so I deleted everything, and uploaded my backup... Only to find the same problem ???

So I deleted everything again - including MySQL Databases.
I downloaded the original Wordpress setup files from the Wordpress website, and uploaded them.

I created a new database, I created a new username and password, I assigned that username to the database and gave it all privileges.



I then went to the Wordpress setup files, and entered my details EXACTLY how I set them up. Done this numerous times with the same result.
Might be worth mentioning that Database Host is named 'localhost' in PHPMyAdmin, and this is how it was when my website was working, so that hasn't changed from what I can tell.

So, I complete the Wordpress Install page, and I get this page.




Username and Password is OK..... It just can't connect to the database server??
It definately exists... The Username has permissions, and yes the username is prefixed... but I have taken that into account.

Anyone got any ideas what might be the problem??
My support ticket is now being looked at, but if they can't solve the problem, then I might have to change host again
