@tael For some of what I'm doing there's an easy maintenance mode option... for others I guess I might just have to do something like rename public_html and leave the whole website giving a 404 error in the meantime? I can't think of a better quick way to make some of the messier sites properly inaccessible.

@JubalBarca A temporary 404 is better than a compromised shell, I guess. You could maybe edit the apache/nginx files to return a 503 instead.

@tael Yeah I'm just trying to work out what I can do reasonably fast: I do not have time or spoon to work out how to do anything fancy across however many websites/subdomain-websites I'm trying to work through (double figures and they basically all use PHP).
