Delete a subdomain

Now that you understand what a subdomain is, you can delete a non-forwarded subdomain that points to an IP address. You can also manually forward or mask your domain or subdomain.

Note: If your domain is registered at another company, see the Domains registered at another company section below for instructions.

  1. Log in to your My Products page.
  2. If you aren't automatically directed there, make sure to select the My Products tab.
  3. Next to the domain you want to use, click DNS.
  4. On the DNS Management page, scroll down to the Forwarding section.
  5. Click Click pencil icon on existing MX records(the pencil icon) next to the subdomain you wish to delete.
  6. Click Click trashcan icon to delete MX record(the trashcan icon). Your subdomain will automatically be deleted.

Note: DNS can take up to 48 hours to propagate.

Note: If you have forwarded your subdomain, deleting it in the DNS Manager does not delete its forwarding.
