How do I cancel my domain name ?

The contact person for the domain name should approach his agent with the request that the domain name be cancelled. You cannot apply directly to DNS; only your agent is authorised to manage your domain name.

Deleted domain names are not freed immediately but are being put "in quarantine" for 40 days. During that period the domain name is not active, no updates can be executed and no one else can register it. The agent who put the domaine name in quarantine can reinstore it using the identical details (reactivate). A transfer initiated before or during the quarantine can be finalised as well, if the answers confirming the transfer have been received before the end of the 40 days period.

Please note !

If you do no intend to extend your domain name registration, it is important that you inform your agent of this in good time. Your agent can tell you exactly when your domain name expires. If the renewal date has passed, your agent will be automatically invoiced for a new period. It is possible that your agent will then ask you to pay for another year.

Every agent has its own internal invoicing regulations. Some agents expect you to pay the invoice before your domain name expires, so that they know whether your registration should be extended or not. It is up to you to find out in advance. DNS will not intervene in disputes of this kind between domain name holders and agents.
