You might want to have your host check their logs as it could be a utilization issue on the server being overloaded.

yeah, a review of the log files will definitely point the admin in the right direction. Most likely, there were far too many connections for the database to even reply to. Usually end-users us would get connect timeouts or just a generic error screen , which seems to be the case. It's also possible that the application or web-server were slammed too ( too much traffic ) , causing the application not to be able to communicate with the database.
