IT Employment

This is actually just normal behavior for the Internet.
Things that might cause this to happen:
Congestion on any Internet link between you and the web server (there can sometimes be as many as 30 different hops - with each hop being a different link - between you and the website). Sometimes links will even go down.
Congestion on the webserver itself - if you are trying to reach a popular website, it may sometimes become overwhelmed by the number of websurfers trying to reach it. Sometimes the webserver will crash.
Or the designers of the website may not have anticipated its popularity and not provided a robust enough server to handle the amount of traffic it receives.
If you continually have problems with the same website (but not others), you need to address your concerns to the webmaster of that site. If you continually have problems with all websites, you need to probably address your problem to your ISP
