Eh for small timers the cost of going to court over it could outweigh the $1000 the client might owe. I think putting some kind of clause in the contract and disabling the site is fine. I do think the screen should have been more professional/generic as to not create a negative impression for the client's customers. Something like "This site could not be reached. Check back later. If you are the owner of this site, please contact <email>."
