Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your `wp-config.php` file is incorrect or that contact with the database server at `sql301.byetcluster.com` could not be established. This could mean your host’s database server is down.
- Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
- Are you sure you have typed the correct hostname?
- Are you sure the database server is running?
If you are unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the [WordPress support forums](https://wordpress.org/support/forums/).
Hosting a wordpress site and intermittently receive this error code. I am also unable to load the WooCommerce plugin setup wizard. Is this error related?

“Error establishing a database connection” could mean anything. It’s hard to say anything with any certainty if we don’t know what the issue is.
A good place to start is to enable WP\_DEBUG mode in your site to get a real error message from WordPress:

Once you have the real error, you can check this forum for other topics and articles about it, like this one:

No, that does not help. It’s a completely different error. The reason that error shows is because of this:

You can use an external service to call your site.

I’ve also met errors like this, it seems like WooCommerce is costing too much resource which lead to wp-die. I’m not really sure but I’ve tried another hosting provider(not on MOFH) and it worked.
