What is a 503 Error?

A 503 error message indicates that there is an issue preventing access to the site but also lets visitors know that, although the service or data is temporarily not available, the target site still exists.

Search engine rankings temporarily remain in place while a 503 error page is displayed. This gives an opportunity to address the underlying issue while maintaining search rankings. If the underlying issue is not resolved, however, search engine rankings will ultimately be affected.

If this is the case we will send email to the account in question. The message will include details of the issue and the steps we recommend to help resolve it.

We have permission restrictions in place for files on shared servers. This might cause the issue you are seeing (or sometimes a 403 or 500 error). Get in touch if you believe this is the issue and we can help ya out.
