Account: Delete a Domain Name

Account: Delete a Domain Name

You can remove a domain from your account. Before you delete your domain, there are a few things you should know:

    • Any email messages or email addresses associated with your deleted domain will be lost. Therefore, we recommend that you delete your domain only if you can easily spread the word that your email addresses have changed. Also, we recommend that you back up any important email messages.

 

    • If your domain name is associated with a WebListings upgrade, log in to the WebListings dashboard (at http://business.intuit.com) and update your business profile. Change the domain name listed in the Customize Profile and WebListings tabs to another website address and save your changes before submitting your domain deletion request.
    • We do not provide refunds for prepaid services. So, if you have paid for this domain name as an upgrade, you will not receive a refund for the setup fee or your subscriptions fee for this domain



Warning: Deleting your domain is final. All emails associated with the domain will be lost when you click delete a domain

To delete a domain

    1. Click Domains on the left.


    2. The Domain Center will open with Manage Your Websites Domains expanded.


    3. Find the domain you'd like to delete. Then, in the Domain Control area, click Delete Domain


    4. Read the important information about deleting your domain. Then, click to select the checkbox acknowledging you've read and understand the important information.


    5. Click Delete Domain

I just accidentally created a new domain (complete with extra charges), when all I really wanted to do was change the name of my old one to this one. How do I fix this?

It is not possible to change a domain name. You will need to delete the domain you don't want. Keep in mind that 1 factor in Google ranking is the age of the domain. If you delete the domain, you will lose all the ranking your domain has built up over time.

I recently transferred my domain from Tucows to godaddy. I need to delete my domain from my homestead account so I can close it. Will deleting my domain name from my homestead account also delete it with godaddy or just remove it from homestead? I am now pointing my domain name it to a different host site and need to keep my domain name.

If you provide your domain I can double check your domain if you would like, but removing off our side will not remove it off GoDaddy's side.

My site currently has two domains. One of the domains is active, but I no longer use the other and would like to change its name and the page itself to use for a new professional service I plan on offering. How do I replace an existing domain name with a new domain name? Thanks!

I need to delete 3 domain names that are currently pointed to my primary website.  I believe I read above that this needs to be done at your end.  Please help.

Click on the domains tag in your Homestead account. Under each domain, pointed or not, there should be a link to delete the domain.

When I log on, I click on "Domains" on the left.  It takes me to my account summary, contact and billing information.

Hi,
I have deleted 2 unused domains  from my account and opened a new one (www.vitalityclinichawaii.com) however it is still pointing to the old, deleted domains. Could you have their ghosts exorcised from my site, so they do not cause confusion? The a/m site is my good site under construction, please, leave it there!
Thanks
Alex

 That domain is associated with a site and no other domains. Is it bringing up the correct site? or is that the wrong site?

I deleted a domain but now need it restored to set up 301 redirects. How can I restore it or at least buy the old one back?

Hello, I can see you deleted oldmcdebbiesfarm.net from your account and then readded it as a pointed domain. I will need to delete that from the account in order to be able to restore the domain as you are requesting. The charge for this will add $24.00 back to your yearly hosting (making your yearly $164.88) fee plus a $5.00 restore fee that will be charged when we restore the domain name. Would you like me to proceed?

We still want to use the oldmcdebbiesfarm.net domain for our new website hosted by a different company. Can Homestead release the domain so we can purchase  it via our new hosting site in  a timely manner? Thank you.

You would need to transfer the domain, we can't just release it.
To do this, the domain would need to be properly re-added to the account.
Would you like me to make this change?

How long do I have to wait until this domain becomes public again so I can repurchase it?

Hello John,

I do apologize, the informational emails that are sent out about the account are all from no-reply emails. We do not have email support but can help process a refund and close the account by calling into support at 1800-710-1998.

No problem, if you are unable to call in I can assist from here. Do you wish to close the entire account? This will disable access to the account, the domain, website, and any domain email addresses.

I tried to do this but every time that I click on Domains the only links that come up are my billing/payment / account info / contact info and security.   It does not have anything more about my domains.  Can you please help me? Thank you.
