How do we delete a domain?

Updated 26 Apr, 2020

It is possible to deregister a domain via the delete command (immediate deactivation), and via the update domain command. There are two variants when updating a domain, immediate deactivation or deactivation at the domain's expiration date.

  • Submit the EPP command delete for the domain, then the domain is deactivated immediately and deregistered after 60 days.

  • Via the EPP command domain:update, client delete is set to 1, then the domain is deactivated immediately and deregistered after 60 days.

  • Via the EPP command domain:update, client delete is set to 1 together with specifying that the domain should be deactivated later. The domain is then deactivated when its expiration date occurs and is deregistered after 60 days.
