So if you&#8217;re ever thinking about deleting your website from your WPX account, you might be wondering what happens to your domain. Let\u2019s break it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will my domain be affected by deleting the associated website?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your domain remains completely separate from your website, so the answer is no. The process of deleting a website is strictly connected to removing physical files, databases, and email accounts associated with it. More on how the process is completed can be found <strong><a aria-label=\"here (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/wpx.net\/kb\/how-can-i-delete-a-website\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your domain will stay active as long as it&#8217;s registered, and you can use it whenever you need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-ht-blocks-messages wp-block-hb-message wp-block-hb-message--withicon is-style-info\">Keep in mind that if you try to load the website after it has been deleted, you will get a WPX Default error page. More on the default page can be read <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wpx.net\/kb\/what-does-the-default-wpx-page-mean-when-i-try-to-open-my-site\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"here (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can I do with my domain when the website is deleted?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even without a website, your domain is still yours to use. You still have many options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Create a new website<\/strong> \u2013 You can build a new site using the same domain whenever you&#8217;re ready.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Point it to another website<\/strong> \u2013 If you have another site, you can forward your domain to it via your Domain Registrar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Connect it to a third-party service<\/strong> \u2013 If you need to link your domain to a platform like Shopify or a custom IP address, you can manage it from your WPX account (as long as your domain is registered or transferred to WPX).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For step-by-step guidance on managing your domain through WPX, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/wpx.net\/kb\/wpx-control-panel-overview\/#manage-your-domains-with-wpx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you get stuck with anything discussed on this page, please get in touch with WPX Support Team via live chat (use the bottom right-hand widget) and they will respond and help within 30 seconds or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article will explain the process associated with deleting your website from your WPX Account panel and the corresponding domain.
