Suspend compromised site with user access?

[Remitur]

I would like, when a site is compromised, having a way to suspend the site, in order not be reachable/browserable, but leaving to the user the cpanel access, in order to make maintenance to his own site.

is it possible, someway?

The "suspend" function of cpanel shut off the site, but also make cpanel access unavailable for the user, and even FTP, mysql etc... so, if i suspend it this way, the user has no way to fix it.

Hello,

You could add a deny rule to the .htaccess file in the document root of the website to block access to it. EX:

.htaccess deny from all

However, with cPanel access, the account user could remove that rule if they wanted. You could setup a custom VirtualHost include file that blocks access if you wanted to prevent them from doing that:

Thank you.
