Singleton pattern and DB Connection

Is it best to use the Singleton Design Pattern for database connections in web development? If not what is the best way to do it?

so the main question remains as it is "I was wondering why are Singletons not implemented as a static class with a static public Instance property?"

As per the technical description of static class, we can't create the instance of static class.

If we have static class then why do we need to creae instance..?

This is not correct. A class exist when called upon. This is what the static constructor is all about.
