zombie

 zombie  is in the context of the web a website that had died (site-deaths), perhaps due to domain registration neglect, and has been brought back by some other looking sorta like it did before, but oddly broken, often with spam pages/links added, and eats a lot of CPU likely due to abusive scripts.

IndieWeb Examples
Unfortunate examples of past IndieWeb sites that died and had their domains repurposed by others:
 * kylewm.com — note: "powered by WordPress." when he was previously using his own CMS Red Wind, later Known, and the spate of non-English (Kyle always posted in English) spam keyword and link posts near the bottom, key zombie indications.

Other Examples

 * diveintopython.net
 * portablecontacts.net
