error when submitting form on the web

[No.1]

When trying to register for a site and i have to enter my desired details, then click sign up, nothing happens for a while, then i get the error message "MySQL server has gone away".

What does this mean, and will anything be different if i try again in a few hours (this is a website tha can't afford to have problems)??

TIA for any help/guidance.

try restarting, then registering again
SQL ought to be in your startup background... if somehow you ended that task, then that problme could occur is my guess
