# Suspending a FlashEdge CDN zone

{% hint style="warning" %}
Disabling/Enabling a distribution in FlashEdge is a fundamental step that allows you to temporarily deactivate a distribution configuration without permanently deleting it.
{% endhint %}

This action is especially useful when you need to suspend the zone's functionality, whether it's due to maintenance, updates, or other reasons. By disabling a CDN zone, you prevent it from actively delivering content, ensuring that users don't receive content from that particular zone during the disabled period. After disabling, you should not incur any costs for this zone.

### Disabling

The following guide outlines the straightforward process of disabling a FlashEdge distribution:

1. Sign in to FlashEdge.
2. Choose the zone that you want to delete.
3. Choose the Settings tab.
4. Click on the “Suspend” button.
5. Wait until the zone is disabled.

### Resuming

The following guide outlines the straightforward process of enabling a FlashEdge zone:

1. Sign in to FlashEdge.
2. Choose the distribution that you want to resume the functionality of the FlashEdge CDN zone.
3. Choose the Settings tab.
4. Click on the “Resume” button.
5. Wait until the zone is resumed.
