My website is gone. Error of ‘Error establishing a database connection’ and I have no clue how to fix this.

I literally just had someone comment on my website at 2:14pm and by the time I tried to reply by linking my website at 2:30 I got this error and now I cannot find my website and my account in WordPress also says I do not even have a website. Please help!
WP.com: Unknown
Jetpack: Yes
Correct account: Unknown -
Hostinger finally got back to me that the needed to do an emergency maintenance update and it is up and running now.

Hi there,
Thanks for letting us know you got it sorted out.
Just to clarify, the forums you posted to here are for the hosting provider, WordPress.com.
Your site is hosted by Hostinger, not by WordPress.com, and that’s why your account says you don’t have any sites – a WordPress.com site only lists sites hosted with us, or connected to us via the Jetpack plugin.
The WordPress you’re using at Hostinger is the open source software, made by the community on WordPress.org. That community provides support for the open source version of WordPress in their forums at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/, should you ever need it in future :)

Thank you for this info! I really do not understand the hosting and how that is different from where I edit my website on WordPress, etc…it is quite confusing. But I appreciate you explaining this to me. I still dont really get it, but I will spend some time researching this so that I have a better handle on where my website is located.
I thought since I have a .com website that I was posting in the correct forum, but I bookmarked the .org for future issues with my website. Thank you for taking time to respond.
