Delete your domain’s DNS zone
A domain can only be in one place at a time. Delete the zone when the domain should be added to a hosting account or moved to another provider.
Is the domain going to your hosting at Inleed? Connect a domain to your hosting
Before you start
- Copy the domain’s DNS records. They aren’t kept when the zone is deleted.
How to delete the zone
- 1
Log in to the client area and click Manage next to the domain.
The domain’s page opens.
- 2
Open the DNS / Nameservers tab.
Important
All DNS records disappear. If the domain points to Inleed’s nameservers, your website and email stop working.
- 3
Click Delete entire zone.
How to know it worked
Done
The zone is deleted. The domain can be added somewhere else.
Waiting time
The deletion takes about 10 minutes.
If something doesn’t work
The domain gets the ending .new in DirectAdmin
Why: A DNS zone for the domain already existed on the servers.
What to do: Delete the old zone, remove the .new domain and add the real one.
Good to know
- If the domain is on your other hosting account, remove it under Domains in that account’s DirectAdmin.
- If the domain is on someone else’s account, support does it.
