如果网站停止工作
OR：如果（该）网站进入离线状态
Literally, this sentence means “如果网站进入离线状态”. A website must be online to function. If it is offline, its function stops. Therefore, the translation may mean “should the website stop functioning”.

在这里的“offline”状态下，网站的很多服务器和存储设备都可能仍在运行（就像orientalhorizon解释的那样），所以我连“停机/停止运行”都不敢用。这种状态下停止的功能没有“downtime/outrage”状态多，而“关闭”比“downtime/outrage”还“激进”。用“关闭”而没有指明时间，会让人觉得网站永久停运了（Sophie Ao举的例子里还有时间限制，至少不会给人这种感觉）。我觉得这里的意思还是“停止工作/（提供）服务”或“离线”。

: 解释里的说法较好，其实就是切断网络接入，比如进行本地维护等。
