Allowing users to "switch off" their site

You can call API1 functions from the XML API as described at: http://www.cpanel.net/plugins/xmlapi/cpanel.html . API1 has functions to park/unpark a domain and you can build a PHP script to utilize the XML API.

The raw API1 call for parking a domain is:

Code:

<cpanel Park="park(example.com)">

Where example.com is the domain to park.

To unpark a domain, the API1 call is:

Code:

<cpanel Park="unpark(example.com)">

For doing a redirect domain, the API1 call is:

Code:

<cpanel Park="setredirecturl(example.com,toURL)">

Where example.com is the domain being redirected and toURL being the full URL to redirect to.
