Hi there!
Please check out the steps above on how to delete the domain. Once the domain is deleted, you can delete individual pages and files from your file manager.
Thanks,
Aubrey

Aubrey - What about pointed domains that were registered elsewhere (GoDaddy). How do you get those removed? I have a few that have expired that I need to have removed from my account.

Good question, Dave! For pointed domains, we'll need to delete them from our end. Please reply back with which domains you wish to delete and I'll take care of them for you.
Thanks,

You can delete the extra domain from the domain manager inside of your account. If you delete a domain, any links or search engine ranking will be lost.

Changing web address.
Hello, I am fairly new here. We are updating our website and scope of work and feel it would be a better fit to change one word in our company name, which means that we would also have to change the web address www.______.com {not sure if I am using the correct terminology} I am already paying for one domain and don't want to pay for another. I simply want to change the name. Can someone please help?

Hello Mike6640, Since you can't edit a domain name after it's been registered, you actually have to delete the domain from the account (see instructions above), and then register the new domain. See instructions on this page: https://community.homestead.com/homes...
If you delete the old domain first, then you can the additional domain upgrade.
Mike.

Sorry but wants a domain registration is done, the domain name can not be edited. The only thing you can do is delete the misspelled domain and then register the new/correct one.

Hi again Mike, I deleted the incorrect domain name okay and registered the one I wanted but didn't receive a VERIFCATION email afterwards. At least not yet, 24 hours later, so I went to the page suggested in an acknowledgement email I got and did as required but there were two more steps I was supposed to take and these didn't come appear for me. So now I'm not sure if my site will be available on line. A second issue is that I named my Home page, Index, with a capital 'i' and don't know how to change the page name if I need a small 'i' instead. Can you help with these two issues?
Thanks
Patricia

Is this the correct domain? shambalashoponwheels.com
This one was registered yesterday.
It won't hurt anything having "index" named "Index", but if you want to change it you can use the "save as" option to rename the site except you'll have to do it in multiple steps.
1. rename "Index" to "index2".
2. delete "Index".
3. rename "index2" to "index"
4. delete "index2"
Be sure to save & publish in between steps, so that a copy gets saved on the server.
If you have any problems let us know.
Mike

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.
