  Hello @margaretmockler,
  
  Thanks for reaching out. You can close your site on your own from the General Settings.

  

  Let me know how that goes.
  
  Regards,

  Just deleting your site isn’t enough. You must also cancel your paid plan and your custom domain under Purchases.

  To close your site after selling the property, follow these steps:

  1. Notify your users about the site’s closure with an announcement.
  2. Backup any important data.
  3. Cancel any hosting, domain, and service subscriptions.
  4. Redirect the site URL to a closure message or a new owner.
  5. Deactivate the site and remove its content.
