Take a published website offline

Remove customer access from My Sites without deleting the private project.

Taking a website offline removes its public DriftLess site while preserving the private project and versions. Use this for a temporary closure, an outdated launch, or a website that should no longer accept visitors.

My Sites, projects and permanent deletion

My Sites focuses on published websites. Account → Projects includes private work as well. Use a project menu to rename or delete a site. Delete site requires the displayed site ID and permanently removes that site and its versions; it is not the reversible Take offline action.

  • Keep the private project when you only need a temporary closure.
  • Export eligible site files before deleting if you need an external copy. Account-data export is not a website backup.

How to use this

  1. 1Open My Sites.
  2. 2Find the published website you want to remove.
  3. 3Choose Take offline and confirm the website name.
  4. 4Return to Studio later if you want to revise and republish it.

Keep in mind

  • Taking a site offline is different from deleting the project.
  • If you have made sales, check your own order records and customer obligations before removing access. Taking offline does not cancel a sale, refund a buyer or cancel your DriftLess subscription.
