The Problem: For whatever reason, your website is displaying a white screen with “Service Unavailable” and nothing else.
The Cause: There could be many causes, but the one I just discovered was that the application pool had shut down for no good reason.
The Solution: In IIS, navigate to “Application Pools”, right click to bring up the content manager – select “Stop”, and then select “Start”. That should fix the problem in most cases.
