maintenance mode, cutenews Options

[`MJ]

i have a question...

you know how when someone is using wordpress for their website they can put it into "maintenance mode" with a plug-in. that enables them to work on their site while no outsiders can see it.

is there a way i can do that without using that wordpress plug-in? because i don't use wordpress, i use cutenews. is there a similar function with cutenews, or cPanel, or something else?

EDIT: close topic. answer: password protect the directory in cPanel. I would of thought somebody could of told me that
