can anyone give me any pointers please?

It is a wordpress site . http://the-newbie-manuals.com

The stupid thing is, I hadn't yet got round to setting up a backup.

Thanks in advance

    It seems your main domain is www.golfing-tips.eu and http://the-newbie-manuals.com is the addon domain. You can login to via ftp and delete the file that you recently uploaded. Check, if you have all the files there on or not.

    Contact your host or webmaster if you cant figure out.

    Hope that helps.

      Hey Graham,

      Looks like your web site is trying to access some db and it is not available or configured properly.

      contact your web master or hosting company to get it resolved.

      Thanks,
