    I transferred my domain from 1and1 shared servers to another shared server. I backed up my wordpress and everything from the servers and uploaded it successfully to the new server but now it doesn't work. The domain is www.auto-mods.co.uk, does anyone know why this has happened?

    well it says "Error establishing a database connection"
    have you created and imported the database and created database account with the same login/pass as on the old server?

    Internally within wordpress most things are stored in the database - users, posts and pages etc. When you backup the wordpress files - you are just backing up the config file, themes and plugins.
    Did you do a database dump from your old server?
