Service Unavailable: IIS 6.0 Windows 2003 Server SP2 (64-bit)

I recently got this error on http://ejeboo.com and was a little bit worried since I had no idea how long visitors to the video search site have been experiencing this. I tried to quickly google for the possible cause and resolution while I opened an RDP session to the server to instinctively give IIS (6.0) a reboot.

For whatever reason, the google results that pointed to support.microsoft.com articles that dominated the SERP refused to load fast enough. Anyway, a restart of the World Wide Web Publising and IIS Admin services easily resolved the issue for me.

Funny thing is I never had any such issue with Apache when I used to host the site on a Linux VPS from SliceHost.
