How to cancel/terminate a domain?

No longer need the domain and want to delete it completely?

Domains billed in a web hosting package will either be deleted or returned to the registry, depending on your choice when terminating the hosting package.

If you want to cancel domains that are not billed in a web hosting package, or if you want to keep the web hosting and simply use another domain name, proceed as follows for cancellation:

Select the “Products” item in the left menu.
In the “Products” menu, select the sub-item “Domains”.
Under the domain to be canceled, select “Show details”. If you manage a large number of domains, you may first need to click “Show all” to get a complete overview of your domains.

Scroll down to the “Cancel” item.

Make the desired settings and confirm that the domain should be deleted. Then the “Cancel” field will be activated and a cancellation can be recorded for the domain.
“Domain transit” should only be activated if the domain is to continue to be used and returned to the central registry Denic. In this case, Denic may charge additional fees for domain management.
Attention: “Domain transit” does not mean that you are transferring the domain to another provider. During a transit, you will not receive an authorization code via the client interface. How to properly perform a transfer is explained in the help article “How does an outgoing transfer (to another provider) work?”.
For managing multiple domains, a separate cancellation must be recorded for each domain.

Please note that even in the case of early termination of a domain, no refund of fees already paid is made.
