It isn't cloaking since it returns a 503 status code to both search engines and users.

Serving a different content, that's basically what you are suggesting, may be interpreted as cloacking, so nice article, but don't go with it just for search engines.

Thanks for clarification. But does maintenance.html page work if my site is in html and not in PHP.

The maintenance.html or .php is a page to inform the visitors on the website maintenance. The extension shouldn’t be an issue but I would suggest following uniformity in your web page extension

If I my site is in html and not php, does this mean that I have to use maintenance.html instead of maintenance.php for case 1.
