As you will have application hosted on your server, so create a web page and write comments &quot;This site is temporarily stopped due to non-payment reason&quot; or anything you want to comment. Then set home page redirection in customer's site to your page. <br />

The recommended solution is good but I was looking for something faster. I chose to use DNS Only setting at the hosting level.

I have a customer who has not responded to repeated requests for payment for web services. I host the site and the email. How do I temporarily disable both the easiest and most easily reversible way?

How to temporarily disable a website and email for non-payment

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
