Suspend or unsuspend a website

A suspended site answers with the suspension page and its system account is locked, so FTP and SSH stop working too. Files and databases are left untouched.

What suspension does

  • OpenLiteSpeed serves the suspension page for every request to the domain and its child domains.
  • The Unix account is locked with usermod --lock, which stops FTP and SSH but leaves cron entries and the data in place.
  • Databases keep running, so an application on another host that connects remotely is unaffected.
  • Unsuspending restores the original vhost and unlocks the account; nothing has to be rebuilt.
