Read the guide500 Internal Server Error
Instead of your pages, the site shows a generic "500 Internal Server Error" — the server hit a problem it couldn't handle, and the real reason is hidden in the error log.
Read the guide502 Bad Gateway Error
Visitors see "502 Bad Gateway" instead of your site — one server asked another server for your page and got a bad answer back.
Read the guide503 Service Unavailable Error
Visitors get "503 Service Unavailable" instead of your website — the server is alive but temporarily refusing work, from overload, maintenance, or a failing process.
Read the guide504 Gateway Timeout Error
Visitors see "504 Gateway Timeout" instead of your pages — one server waited for another server to answer, ran out of patience, and gave up.
Read the guideCloudflare Errors 520, 521, 522 and 525

Read the guidecPanel Hosting Issue Basics
An orientation to cPanel for site owners — what the panel's warnings mean, which areas are safe to read, which tools can break a working site, and how to look before you touch.
Read the guideHosting Account Suspended or Over Its Limit

Read the guidePHP Version or Compatibility Problem
Your site breaks or warns about compatibility because the hosting PHP version changed, or your software is too old — or too new — for the version running.
Read the guideToo Many Redirects Error
Your site won't load and the browser says "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS" or "redirected you too many times" — two rules are bouncing visitors back and forth forever.
Read the guideWebsite Is Down caution
