How to stop web, FTP or email services in your Hosting
In your SW Hosting Hostings you can choose, stop or start the FTP, Email and Web services independently. This is useful if you wish to dispense with these services during specific moments.
To activate or deactivate the FTP/Web/Email services, you must follow these steps:
From the search box of your SWPanel, you should locate the service where you want to deactivate the services.

To finish, select Yes, execute now. From this moment, the service you have selected will no longer be active. In case the web service has been selected, the website associated with the Hosting will appear blank.
