    Thumbs up Enabling Disabling DNS for a domain or multiple domains

    This simply involves removing the DNS record for that domain so that dns server does not reply any requests. And of course turning it back on.

    This is another way of suspending an account. When disabling the dns, we keepout any unneccesarry connection that may use up the server resources. Especially if the suspended site has a lot of traffic which takes the server down even though the site is suspended. Even a flood attack could be prevented by using this method by first keeping TTL low.
