I have a "kill switch" for a lack of a better term (actually that is a good term) that I've started putting in all my websites for clients that get the idea to not pay their bill. Basically, it's a well hidden login that lets me type a bit of html for a message for the homepage and prevents access to the rest of the site. if they were somehow smart enough to change the ftp login and hosting login while not paying their bill I could still make it say whatever I want. Another developer would have to look pretty hard to find it also. I haven't had to use it yet and hope I never do. Shit like this is what prompted me to do it though.
The best practice with websites is to launch only when the bill is settled. Print is different obviously.
- Or host important material on servers controlled by you. Better to develop on your own servers, migrate on payment.comicsans
