ERROR ESTABLISHING DATABASE CONNECTION.

There's a joke in here somewhere...

Welcome to your new startup. Your first challenge is 'database connection'. You may begin.

Haha thanks :) Looks like I will be switching solutions sooner than I anticipated.

In addition to changing hosts, there are a few ways to dramatically increase the traffic a blog can handle:

- Caching aggressively to static files. - Using a static site compiler. - An HTTP caching layer, like Varnish or CloudFlare.

All of the above eliminate the need for a database connection per pageview.

I'm doing a solo gig. It's a daily challenge! Best of luck to you!

Good idea. Bluehost and the like saw a huge performance hit when they were scooped up by EIG and the servers "upgraded".
