vital connection

My host is apparently having problems with its MySQL installation, so this blog has been going down intermittently for the past few days. It’s embarrassing to have an error message pop up on my front page - it looks like I can’t edit a config file - and it’s frustrating to submit trouble tickets about the problem, only to get a terse reply from a tech support staffer telling me the site is back up. Is the problem being worked on, or are they just letting me know when the MySQL load is lighter? Can anyone recommend a cheap host for a modest blog? I’d like about 500MB of space and a minimum of 1GB of transfer. (I guess the bandwidth really does reveal how few people read my site.) If you read this before you see another “Database connection error” message, you’ll know what’s going on. If not, this post is pretty much useless.
