Delete a domain_

Deleting a domain removes it from your organization and deletes all DNS records Appwrite hosted for that zone. This action cannot be undone.

This guide covers single and bulk delete and what happens for Appwrite-registered versus external domains.

Before you delete

• Update or remove product connections (Sites, Functions, API custom domains) that use the hostname.
• For external domains, plan nameserver changes at your registrar if DNS should continue elsewhere. Deleting in Appwrite does not cancel registration at your external registrar.
• For Appwrite-registered domains, deleting from Appwrite does not cancel registry registration by itself. To release the name entirely, complete transfer out or allow the registration to expire without renewal.

Delete a single domain

1. Open the domain in your organization.
2. Go to the Settings tab.
3. In Delete domain, click Delete domain.
4. Type the domain name exactly as shown to confirm.
5. Confirm deletion.

The domain and its DNS zone are removed from Appwrite immediately.

Bulk delete from the list

1. Open Organization > Domains.
2. Select the checkboxes on the domains to remove.
3. Use the bulk delete action in the selection bar.
4. Confirm deletion in the dialog.

Bulk delete uses the same permanent removal as single delete for each selected domain.

After deletion

• DNS hosted by Appwrite for that zone stops resolving.
• The domain no longer counts toward your organization's plan limit.
• Appwrite-registered names may still incur renewal obligations at the registry until transfer out or expiry if registration was not separately cancelled. Monitor billing if you delete shortly after registering.

To add the domain again later, use Register a domain, Transfer a domain, or Add external domain depending on how you want to manage registration.
