How to Delete Domain on Hostinger 2026 Easily

By Impran M N

Cleaning up your Hostinger account by removing a domain you no longer use keeps your dashboard readable and makes room for new projects without old, inactive sites cluttering the list. The whole process happens inside hPanel, Hostinger's control panel, and takes only a few clicks once you know which section to open. This guide walks through logging in, finding the right domain among everything attached to your account, and removing it safely.

01Log in and land on your hPanel home

After signing in at Hostinger, you land on the hPanel home screen, greeted by name with a short to-do list and a Widgets section above your active hosting plans. The left sidebar is your main navigation for the rest of the process — Home, Websites, Domains, Horizons, Emails, and more — and it's worth noting that both Websites and Domains can get you to a domain's settings, since a domain can be managed either as part of a hosted site or on its own under the dedicated Domains section.

02Open Websites to see everything linked to your account

Clicking Websites in the sidebar expands to a Websites list, which shows every hosting plan and the domains tied to it in one place — including status flags like a temporary builder-preview address or a domain that isn't connected yet. This is a useful stop even if you already know which domain you want gone, because it shows you the exact current state of each one, and each entry has its own overflow menu with Tools, WP Admin, and Dashboard shortcuts alongside it.

03Go to the Domains section instead for a domain-only view

If you'd rather manage domains without the hosting-plan grouping, use the Domains item in the sidebar instead of Websites. This narrows the list down to just your domains and their registration details, which is generally the faster path if the domain you're deleting isn't actively hosting a website and you just want it off your account.

04Select the domain you want to remove

Scroll or search through the list until you find the exact domain you intend to delete — double-check the spelling carefully, especially if you manage several similarly named domains, since this action isn't something you want to undo by re-registering a domain you meant to keep. Click into that domain's row to open its individual management options.

05Delete the domain and confirm

With the domain open, look for the Delete option among its management actions, usually reachable through an overflow or three-dot menu next to the domain's row. Clicking Delete triggers a confirmation prompt before anything actually happens — this extra step exists specifically to catch accidental clicks, so read it before confirming, then approve the deletion to remove the domain from your account.

06Verify it's gone

Head back to the Websites or Domains list and confirm the domain no longer appears. If it was connected to a hosting plan or had email accounts tied to it, double-check those areas too, since removing a domain can affect services that depended on it — better to catch that immediately than discover it later.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is deleting a domain in Hostinger reversible?

The confirmation prompt exists specifically to prevent accidental deletions — once confirmed, the domain is removed and you'd need to re-add or re-register it manually to restore it.

Where do I manage all my domains in Hostinger?

You can reach domain management either through the Websites section, which groups domains under their hosting plans, or through the standalone Domains section in the hPanel sidebar for a domain-only view.

Should I double-check anything after deleting a domain?

Yes, it's wise to confirm the domain no longer appears in your Websites or Domains list, and to check whether it affected any connected email accounts or hosting plans.

Does deleting a domain also delete its email accounts?

Domain and email data are closely tied in Hostinger, so removing a domain can affect associated email accounts — back up anything important before deleting.
