  My website have this error
  Error establishing a database connection
  This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. 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?

  Hi –

  The site mentioned does not use our managed hosting environment from WordPress.com. Instead, it’s set up on the open source WordPress.org software which is something different.

  This page talks about this differences in more detail:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
