My site is down "problem connecting to our database"

This has never happened before, but my site isn't working and I'm getting an error message with a Zen Cart logo saying, Sorry, There seems to be a problem connecting to our data site. This has been going on for the last hour or so. It's up intermittently and then it's not accessible.

Is anyone having the same problem?

I haven't done anything to my site today to make it go down.

I'm bigredworkwearDOTcom

I DID IT, I actually built a working cart, with the help of so many of you, Stevesh, Schoolboy, RescoCCC, to name a few. I just take one bite out of the elephant at a time and try to keep my sense of humor...

It's likely your host is having issues with their server. First thing I do whenever I have that symptom is to call/chat with my host and it's always been trouble on their end.
