Remove the domain

To remove the domain from the cPanel account, perform the following steps:

1. Click Remove Domain.
2. To confirm that you wish to remove this domain, click Yes, remove this domain.
   Note:

   • We strongly recommend that you create a full account backup before you remove a domain. For more information about backups.
   • This action only removes the domain’s vhost entries and DNS entries. The server retains the domain’s directory and contents.
   • You cannot delete the main domain.

Email accounts when you remove a domain

If you remove a domain that contains email accounts, those email accounts will not appear in the Email Accounts interface (cPanel » Home » Email » Email Accounts). However, the mail folders continue to exist on the server. If you add the domain again, the email accounts will reappear.
