Synology How to Temporarily Disable a Domain Name

Did you know you can temporarily disable a domain name (Virtual Host) hosted on your Synology NAS using Web Station? You can shut down a domain/website from your current running list for a certain period of time without losing any of your configurations. Once you enable it again it will work perfectly, just as before. Today I will teach you how to achieve this.
