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.
