If you have a domain with HostGator that you no longer need, you can let it expire or delete it.

Deletion ensures that the policy doesn't automatically renew, leading to an unwanted charge on your following billing statement.

Here's what you need to know to delete a domain name on HostGator.

Set a New Primary Domain

An addon domain serves as a secondary domain within your control panel (cPanel) account.

It often has a distinct look and feel compared to the primary site. cPanel will only allow you to modify an addon domain if you register it first.

HostGator requires users to set a new primary domain before they delete the main address. This step lets you redirect people to a different site without losing traffic.

You can also move your domain to another HostGator site or transfer your content to a new host.

Remove an Addon Domain

Removing an addon domain couldn't be easier. All you have to do is log in to your cPanel and select "Addon Domains."

Under the section that says "Actions," click "Remove."

Note that removing the addon domain only removes it from the server configuration and DNS. Any files that you made on it will remain intact.

However, HostGator won't let you access files through that domain name.

Also remember to double check the domain you're removing as there is a lot of people looking for just delete domains to reuse.
