    We have our website hosted on our own internal ubuntu server. The power is going to be shutdown this weekend because the power company will be working on our power lines. What is the best way to serve up a down for maintenance page or something to our customers so that it doesn't just look like our site disappeared?

    The only option I've thought of so far is an external hosting account that we store some maitenance pages on and redirect our company websites to those for the weekend. Is there a better way?

    Thanks.

    I think re-directing your users to a temporary page as you described would be the best way to go about it. Or you can put up a message saying that your site is under maintenance and have it display when the site will be back up and running normally.
