On a sunny day, I was engaged in my work; suddenly I stuck with an unusual error http/1.1 service unavailable error while I was trying to open a particular website. I started surfing the net for a proper resolution and while surfing I concluded so many facts about the error.

Hence in this article will talk over the consequences, reasons and resolutions for the error (the fixes of best of my researches and experience).

What does this error mean, when does it occurs and what are its consequences?

But there can be other reasons too for popping up the error. Let’s discuss about them in detail.
