ghost site




The name for a Web site that is no longer maintained but remains online and available for viewing. Some ghost sites continue to be useful because the content may not be outdated (see: guru site).

The difference between a ghost site and other abandonned sites (like those referenced below) is that the ghost site contains a statement acknowledging that it is no longer being updated.
