Follow these steps to carry out the removal:
1. Login to cPanel:
-
Open your web browser and go to your cPanel login page (usually, it's https://yourdomain.com/cpanel).
-
Enter your cPanel username and password to sign in.
2. Locate the "Addon Domains" or "Domains" Section:
-
After logging in, locate the "Addon Domains" or "Domains" section within cPanel. The specific wording may vary slightly depending on your cPanel version.
3. Select the Domain to Remove:
-
Within the "Addon Domains" or "Domains" section, you will find a list of domains linked to your cPanel account.
-
Locate the specific domain you wish to remove and click on the "Remove" or "Delete" option next to it.
4. Confirm Removal:
-
A confirmation screen will appear, prompting you to verify your intention to remove the domain. Ensure your decision, as this action is irreversible.
5. Remove Subdomains and Databases (Optional):
-
If your domain has linked subdomains or databases, you may be asked whether you want to delete them. Decide if you wish to remove associated subdomains and databases.
6. Click "Confirm" or "Remove":

After reviewing the information, click the "Confirm" or "Remove" button to execute the removal of the domain.
7. Verify Removal:
-
Once the process is finished, a confirmation message will confirm the successful removal of the domain.
Please be aware that eliminating a domain from cPanel doesn't automatically cancel your domain registration or hosting service with your provider. It solely removes the domain from your cPanel account. If you intend to cancel your domain or hosting service, kindly reach out to your hosting provider directly.
