"textContent": "“Suspension” is industry standard terminology for when hosting services are (temporarily) disabled. It does have somewhat of a negative connotation, but for most people, their website going down is a bad thing.\n\nWhile I can change some of the wording in the client area, the underlying hosting platform still considers everything a suspension. So even if I change the wording to “deactivated” instead of “suspended by request”, it won’t change the fact that your website will redirect to suspended-domain.net. And the current wording is like it is specifically to avoid confusion there.\n\nprogrockfrog:\n\n> If I reached a limit on a free service, I would not see it as a negative. It would be a positive, and I would possibly invest to get more exposure. If I put say $10/month to get more exposure and my account didn’t go past the free visits/hits I would see that as a waste of an investment.\n\nI get your point how maxing out the traffic can be an achievement. But I think that most people would disagree with you there.\n\nIf you paid money to acquire more visitors, then most people would get pretty angry when their website went down, so they are losing out on visitors they paid for.\n\nAlso, there are other reasons why you might hit it, like inefficient website code or bugs. It’s not necessarily a sign of popularity.\n\nAll in all, celebrating that an account reached the limit and is now down for 24 hours seems like very bad taste to me.",
