Is there something wrong with mysql host: mysql8.000webhost.com

I also cannot access my website anymore (www.dental-tutors.com). I didnt change anything to any login details or anything at all for the last 1 month and it was working without problems. Just today I noticed that I get an error “Error establishing a database connection”

Thanks
