Website outages and blackouts the right way
Can someone explain how to change a site to return a 503 HTTP header?

Put
Redirect 503
in your Apache configuration file.

I wrote this up awhile ago for how to do this in pure httpd configuration:

You can do it on a page-by-page basis. If your server supports PHP, add <? header('HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable'); ?> before all other bytes in the file that you want to 503.

Which HTTP server are you using? Apache? nginx? Each one is different.
