How to remove/reset a WP site from a bad customer?

Question

WordPress

Look, the customer threw off an advance payment of 80%, let's say, after work I send him a site to the host, etc., and he did not want to pay extra 20%, and I decide to delete all the site data from his host, but at the same time he changed all the data. then you can implement the code for a while, what if the customer is not good to deal with him fairly?

Answer 1

Actually, I usually do it this way. I make a website and upload it to my server. The client can view the site, and then after payment I already transfer it to its hosting.
If you don't have your own server and you don't want to buy it, then there is a simple solution - ngrok.
For example, locally raise the site and provide access to the site through ngrok. The client also comes to the site and looks. If everything is ok, then he pays, and then you transfer.

Another option is code obfuscation. Here, I won’t tell you which of the free ones you can pick up, but of the paid ones: https://www.ioncube.com/

It is forbidden.

When you upload to the hosting, a daily backup will be made there, so even if you delete the site, it can be restored. If you make bookmarks, they will be quickly found by a hosting anti-virus check, or later they will attract a person and find your bookmarks.
The most correct thing is to work through the services of secure transactions, or not to give the site up to 100% of the settlement with you.
