Eight hours later, I'm not seeing any problems from here.
503 errors, by the way, mean the actual server itself, not the site, is not available. In this case, it would be the specific machine at Netcarrier where my site resides, which is not under my control. The two most common reasons for this error are because the server is too busy or because it's down for maintenance. I can't speak for Honorbridge's report, which was in the middle of the afternoon, but this most recent one -- at midnight -- is most likely maintenance. Middle of the night is the usual time to do hardware work because you're going to disrupt fewer people.
Do me a favor, though -- the next time anyone sees 503s, plug my site into [link=http:\%[link=http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com]www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com]Down For Everyone Or Just Me[/url] and tell me what it says.
