404 is page not found error which means that the requested page is not available on server while 503 is service unavailable error which means that the page is available but some issue exists with server.

The Web server (running the Web site) is currently unable to handle the HTTP request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay.The HTTP 404 Not Found Error means that the webpage you were trying to reach could not be found on the server. It is a Client-side Error which means that either the page has been removed or moved and the URL was not changed accordingly, or that you typed in the URL incorrectly.

404 error - an error message displayed by a browser indicating that an Internet address cannot be found.
503 error - The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overload or scheduled maintenance

Both are server issues.
404 Error is an HTTP Response Status Code which means ‘The resource at the requested location could not be found.
503 error Service Unavailable is an HTTP Status code that means the web site's server is simply not available right now.

404 errors are generated when we delete a page from the website. Can be fixed using 301 redirect.

404- Page is deleted or not available to the website which can be redirected to other pages using 303
503- Page is under maintenance

The difference is simple in both the errors. 503 comes when the Server is out of Service or not able to handle the requests. And, the 404 error comes when the webpage is you are requesting and th ewebpage is not present on the server. BTW 404 error means the web page you are requesting is available on server but not accessible due to some problems like link broken.

404 is page not found error which means that the requested page is not available on server.503 or service unavailable error occurs when the server is currently unavailable because it is overloaded or down for maintenance.

“Error 404” (or “Page Not Found”) – is a standard HTTP status code that occurs when the server can’t find the document requested by a user. Basically, this is a page that doesn’t exist or broken.

A 503 Service Unavailable (http://net-informations.com/q/mis/503.html) Error is an HTTP response status code indicating that your web server operates properly, but it can't temporarily handle the request at the moment. This error happen for a wide variety of reasons. Normally, this error can be due to a temporary overloading or maintenance being performed on the server and it is resolved after a period of time or once another thread has been released by web-server application.
