  6. If your site files and directory has permission or ownership issue, the site will show up "HTTP error 403 (forbidden)" .
  7.  Check the cPanel usage to make sure your website doesn't exceed the allowed resources. If your site exceeds the the allowed resources, the site will show up "HTTP error 503"
