Deregistring A Domain Name. Is It Possible? I want to remove a domain name from the net. Is this possible? |

I don't think there is a way, per se, to "deregister" a domain name. The way I understand it(please if you know otherwise, do chip in and make me stand corrected ![]() 1) When you register a domain, it is usually for a certain amount of time 2) When that time comes, the name is up for renewal at which time you cd cancel and the name goes away 3) If before that time comes, u either don't pay the monthly fee (in the US) or you cancel your account with the hosting company, the name doesn't go away, but you lose access to the site and users get the "page not found" error when they try to pull up the site. I hope this helps |

You cannot deregister a domain name. Domain names are usually renewable every 12 months. After the expiration, it goes into what they call redemption period where only the owner can recover it at an additional fee, if after the redemption period the domain name isn't renewed, it is released to the public and anyone can then pick it up. If you don't want a registered domain name to be useful, simply point it to a non existent page and all call to the domain name presents a blank page or page not found page. |

You can delete a domain within the first 3 days of its registration, or refuse to renew it when it expires. |

Hi Kazey, Could you please provide more information on how you can delete a registered domain name. I will like to know this. I am sure the issue of losing the money spent on registering the domain name is a sure banker as no registrant will refund you any money spent on domain name registration. |

If the domain is registered with our sister company http://wwwSemuadomain.com for example, you lose about 50% of the money. If you delete it, the first 3 days of the registration. You can do that from the panel. |

You can do either of the following: 1. Sell it at any domain name auction site such as sedo.com 2. Let it expire on its own in due time 3. Park it 4. Upload a simple page for the site stating something like 'Site Not Available' if you have it hosted. One of these options should handle your case |
