Server not responding (Safari) on iPad

All of a sudden, when I go onto Safari on my iPad mini, I get a message saying "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding." I can access other online things such as Weather Channel, e-mail, iTunes, etc. It just Safari that's not connecting. One minute it was fine, and then it stopped. On my desktop computer, Safari is working fine.

I tried turning on and off Wifi on my iPad, but that didn't help. Why did this happen all of a sudden,and what can be done to fix it? Is the problem on my end or on Safari's end?

Thank you!

iPad Mini, Mac OS X (10.6.8), null

The problem might be with the website that you are trying to access or on the Internet path to that server.

Try terminating Safari and restarting it. Terminate by double-clicking the Home button and swiping up on the Safari screen image.

TThis happens to me from time to time and it happened to my wife on her iPhone just last night. I think that Jim's suggestion will work for you. That is usually what I do first and it works for me 99% of the time. If his suggestionmdoesn't work, the only thing that I would add is to clear Safari first, then terminate it as explained above. Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data. Close Safari. I also restart the device when Safari quits responding.
