deleting a site

  • Unknown's avatar

    I want to delete my word press site, but I keep getting this message. I thought after my domain expires (which it did two days ago) I would be able to delete, no such luck. Do I have to wait the 90 days for that domain to go back into public use?

    Warning! You cannot delete a site if it has a domain registration upgrade because you need access to the site in order to get to the domain manager.

    If you do not want to use your site any more please make it private. Other users won’t be able to visit the site but you can still access the Dashboard so you can get to the domain manager.

    HI there,

    Sorry about that. I understand you would like to cancel your custom domain: redcrosswesternwiblog.org, but please note that this is different from other upgrades and is stated during the purchase process.

    Canceling a domain at this time means you completely give up ownership of the domain. There is no guarantee the domain will become available to re-register after cancellation.

    You are welcome to keep your domain with us and update the nameservers to point to another hosting provider by following this guide:

    Change a Domain’s Name Servers

    After 60 days from the date of purchase or registrant contact information change, you may also transfer your domain to another registrar by following this guide:

    Transfer a Domain to Another Registrar

    If you would like to completely cancel your ownership of the domain name, please reply to confirm. Once I completely remove it from your account you can delete the site.
