How to suspend user without suspendind cpanel account

[atlantis21]

Hi,

Anyone here know how it's possible to suspend a website on WHM in keeping the customer to use his cpanel and ftp access?

Thanks

Hi,

The best and the quicker solution is either to change the permissions of that user account to root with chown command

chown root:root public_html

OR you can do in that way also:

Create a .htaccess file and past the following lines in it:

order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from ip_address

Hope that will work for you!!

Hello,

Yes, I will suggest you use .htaccess options for your site and if you change the ownership of your public_html directory to root user your client can not access public_html directory through cPanel file manger and FTP

Hello

It's not possible to suspend an account without also suspending access to cPanel/FTP. You can utilize the .htaccess file to deny access to the website, but cPanel access will allow a user to remove that restriction.

Thank you.
