It is an error that denies you the access to the website. It can occur due to various reasons like your hosting plan has expired. If that is the case then log in your hosting credentials and renew the plan. It can also occur due to some other reason like due to the presence of a file. To resolve that, go to the file manager through c panel or directly in the quick options of the hosting. Once the file manager opens, go to public_html then open your domain folder. If there is a file by the name htaccess there, delete that file permanently and your issue will be resolved. Also sometimes it may be caused due to the installation of a new pluggin on your wordpress. In that case deactive that pluggin and uninstall that. The issue will be resolved. Also you can first go with these simple methods like clearing the browser cache and cookies or history or you can even switch your network. I hope it may help
