These errors are automatically shown to help you diagnose the problem :grinning:

It looks like there is an issue with your MySQL database. What is your website URL?


Database is new

Have you resolved the issue?

Generally free hosted websites will run WordPress fine, but once you start tinkering with lots of plugins and themes things can come to a halt and sometimes server gone away error will appear, when your site is requesting a lot of CPU usage to load your site due to the way you’ve configured, installed or set it up with additional plugins etc.

If your site continues to do this I’d advise you to move to premium - else just remove plugins until your site seems stable.
