Turning the website off?

[stefan.milanov]

Hello,

 

I was trying to look for an answer, but I couldn't find any, so:

 

I am leaving for a week for vacation, how can I shut down the website (put it offline)?

 

Thanks!

There is a Down For Maintenance contribution that is good for that purpose. But if you don't have time to do that, you can just create an index.html file saying whatever you want (down for maintenance, gone fishing, etc.) and upload it to the root of your site. If you do that, besure to rename your includes directory to something else. The problem with doing it this way is that the search engines won't be able to get to your pages either and it could wreck havoc on your listing.
