500 error + Worpress Error establishing a database connection

[viarogam]

I have recently created a website at x10hosting and I've moved a worpress installation I had on another hosting. When I try to enter the website, I get a
Error establishing a database connection. I have tried going to /wp-admin/maint/repair.php, but I get the same error. The database is hosted in a external server, so the database connection options should remain the same.
Also, I sometimes get a 500 error.

The database is hosted in a external server...

do to the large security risk - x10hosting's free-hosting accounts do not have remote MySQL database access (both incoming and outgoing from the account) - x10hosting's firewall blocks all remote database access

Ok, thanks.
