  Hi there!

  I see that you registered your new domain and made it primary, so your old domain is redirecting visitors to the new domain. Are you sure you want to cancel the old domain? There are a few things to know before canceling a domain.

  1. As soon as the old domain is canceled, it will stop redirecting visitors to your new domain. So any links you shared with the old domain will essentially stop working.
  2. If you cancel a domain, you may not be able to get it back, and someone else may register and use it in the future.

  I can see that your old domain marineexpertise.com expires in July 2024. I’d suggest turning off the auto-renewal so that you can keep the domain for another year. You can go to this link and toggle the auto-renewal off.

  If you’re sure you want to cancel the domain, you can do so by clicking here, clicking Cancel domain at the bottom, and completing the steps.

  Feel free to let us know if you have more questions.

  Good day, Aisajib.

  I dont want to cancel the domain as I want to keep my email address for a while.

  But I dont want that redirection to new domain. This will increase the time for re-branding.

  Can you please unmap the domain, but keep it with me (for my email).

  Thanks

  Hi there, @exarbulk!

  Thanks for reaching back out.

  Since you want to keep email on marineexpertise.com active and keep this domain for now, you will not want to cancel this domain. If you want to stop marineexpertise.com from redirecting to the primary site address exarbulk.com, I would recommend moving marineexpertise.com to a different site. You will want to create a site at https://wordpress.com/start before you can do that.

  Once you create that new site, you will want to follow the guide below to move this domain to that new site:
