Understanding Account Suspension Policies

This article explains Web60's account suspension policies and how to resolve suspension issues.

Common Reasons for Account Suspension

Payment Issues

Your account will be suspended if your payment fails or your subscription expires. Web60 sends email reminders before suspension occurs.

Resource Abuse

Accounts using excessive server resources (CPU, memory, or disk space) may be temporarily suspended to protect other users on the shared hosting environment.

Policy Violations

Accounts hosting illegal content, spam, or malicious software will be suspended immediately. This includes phishing sites, malware distribution, or copyright-infringing content.

Security Compromises

If your website gets hacked or infected with malware, Web60 may suspend your account to prevent damage to other sites on the server.

How to Check if Your Account is Suspended

Website Symptoms

Check Your Email

Maintain Security

Keep WordPress and plugins updated. Use strong passwords and avoid installing plugins from untrusted sources.
