which is hosted on Go daddy server. sometimes when i open my website i find "503 server unavailable" when i tried to search about this i found it happens when a website creates more concurrent connection. Can anyone here help me to understand concurrent connections.

It means the server at the web site you're trying to access is not available. In other words: the problem is on their end, not you. The reasons for them being down could be anything from the server being overloaded (too many users trying to access it at the same time), to them performing maintenance on it and have it unavailable while they work on it.

There are certainly instances where the error is on your end (something going on with your ISP or your router or even a setting in your browser). But usually it is on the website end.

To access a website your log into there server webpage. Maybe there server broke or they restarting or maybe no power at there place that why you can't connect to there server.

Just wait tell they bring it back up.
