When a Website Error Message Appear
InSite has over thirty years of experience with Tacoma website error messages, and we know they can be misleading and difficult to pinpoint. Many owners spend hours trying to fix the problem with no results because the message on the screen often points to the result of an error, not the source. Website errors can act like a row of dominoes, where the message you see is the last step in a much earlier failure. InSite removes the frustration by handling the troubleshooting for you, using experience to find the source of the error and get your website back online.

Case Study: Error Establishing a Database Connection
A Tacoma business contacted InSite after their website suddenly displayed the message “Error establishing a database connection.” Customers could not reach the site at all, and the owner had no clear idea where the issue started. InSite reviewed the hosting account, checked the website’s configuration settings and confirmed that the database connection information had changed during a recent auto update. After correcting the settings and testing the connection, the website was back online. The outage was resolved quickly through decisive action and InSite’s experience.
